Identify the interest rate column and the number of period’s row that will be used for the following rates.
Explanation of Solution
Future value:
The future value is value of present amount compounded at an interest rate until a particular future date
1.
When annual rate is 12% and compounded annually. The interest rate column will be 12% and the number of periods will be 2.
2.
When annual rate is 6% and compounded semi-annually. The interest rate column will be 3% and the number of periods will be 4 because when future value is compounded semi-annually, the number of years will be doubled and the rate of interest will decrease by half of the given interest rate.
3.
When annual rate is 8% and compounded quarterly. The interest rate column will be 2% and the number of periods will be 8 because, when future value is compounded quarterly, the number of years will be increased by four times and the rate of interest will decrease by quarter of the given interest rate.
4.
When annual rate is 12% and compounded monthly. The interest rate column will be 1% and the number of periods will be 24, because the interest rate for each month will be 1% and number of period will be 24 because future value is estimated for 2 years.

- (1) What is the value at the end of Year 3 of the following cash flow stream if the quoted interest rate is 10%, compounded semiannually? (2) What is the PV of the same stream? (3) Is the stream an annuity? (4) An important rule is that you should never show a nominal rate on a time line or use it in calculations unless what condition holds? (Hint: Think of annual compounding, when INOM = EFF% = IPER.) What would be wrong with your answers to parts (1) and (2) if you used the nominal rate of 10% rather than the periodic rate, INOM/2 = 10%/2 = 5%?arrow_forwardYou want to invest $8,000 at an annual Interest rate of 8% that compounds annually for 12 years. Which table will help you determine the value of your account at the end of 12 years? A. future value of one dollar ($1) B. present value of one dollar ($1) C. future value of an ordinary annuity D. present value of an ordinary annuityarrow_forwardYou put $600 in the bank for 3 years at 15%. A. If Interest Is added at the end of the year, how much will you have in the bank after one year?
