Explanation of Solution

1.

The annual interest rate is 8% and it is required to convert it compounded quarterly.

The interest rate is 8%.

Formula to calculate the conversion from annual interest rate to quarterly interest rate,

   Ratequarterly= Annualrate 4

Substitute 8% for annual rate.

   Ratequarterly= 8% 4 =2%

The interest rate is 2% quarterly.

Convert number of years into number of quarters

The time period is 2 years.

Formula to convert number of years into number of quarters,

   Numberofquarters=Numberofyears×4

Substitute 2 for number of years.

   Numberofquarters=2years×4 =8quarters

The numbers of quarters are 8 quarters.

In Table B.2 it is required to use the column which has2% interest rate and 8 quarters.

Hence,for the 8% annuallycompounded quarterly use the column which shows2% interest rate and 8 duration.

2.

The interest rate is 12%.

The discount factor in Table B.2 at12% interest rate and 2years is 1.2544.

Hence,for the 12% annual interest rate and8 years use the column which has the discount factor 1.2544.

3.

The annual interest rate is 6% and it is required to convert it compounded semi-annually.

The interest rate is 6%.

Formula to calculate the conversion from annual interest rate to semi-annual interest rate,

   Ratesemi-annually= Annualrate 2

Substitute 6% for annual rate.

   Ratesemi-annually= 6% 2 =3%

The interest rate is 3% semi-annually.

Convert number of years into number of semi-annuals

The time period is 2 years.

Formula to convert number of years into number of semi-annuals,

   Numberofsemi-annual=Numberofyears×2

Substitute 2 for number of years.

   Numberofsemi-annuals=2years×2 =4semi-annual

The numbers of semi-annuals are 4semi-annuals.

In Table B.2 it is required to use the column which has 3% interest rate and 4 semi-annuals.

Hence,for the 6% annually compounded semi-annually use the column which shows 3% interest rate and 4 duration.

4.

The annual interest rate is 12% and it is required to convert it compounded monthly.

The interest rate is 12%.

Formula to calculate the conversion from annual interest rate to monthly interest rate,

   Ratemonthly= Annualrate 12

Substitute 12% for annual rate.

   Ratemonthly= 12% 12 =1%

The interest rate is 1% monthly.

Convert number of years into number of months

The time period is 2 years.

Formula to convert number of years into number of months,

   Numberofmonths=Numberofyears×12

Substitute 2 for number of years.

   Numberofmonths=2years×12 =24months

The numbers of months are 24.

In Table B.2 it is required to use the column which has 1% interest rate and 24 month.

Hence,for the 12% annually compounded semi-annually use the column which shows 1% interest rate and 12 duration.
