Question 1

The following computation took place: $20,000 divided by the future value of a 12-year, 4% ordinary annuity What question will this computation answer? A) How much must be invested now so that equal payments can be withdrawn at the end of each year for 12 years? B) How much must be invested now so that $20,000 is accumulated by the end of the 12^th year? C) How much will be available at the end of the12th year if a payment of $20,000 is deposted now? D) How much must be deposited at the end of every year so that $20,000 is available at the end of 12 years?

Accepted Answer

This computation is determining the annual deposit required to accumulate $20,000 at the end of 12 years in an ordinary annuity, which makes payments at the end of each period.

Question 2

Interest is compounded annually.What is the total amount of interest on a $7,000 note payable at the end of five years at 8%?
A) $3,000
B) $3,285
C) $7,000
D) $3,791
E) $7,100

Accepted Answer

B

Question 3

Calculate the future value of equal semiannual payments of $9,000 at 12% compounded semiannually for 4 years.The answer is
A) $43,014.
B) $55,888.
C) $89,077.
D) $114,757.

Accepted Answer

The future value of an annuity formula is used: FV = Pmt * [(1 + r)^nt - 1] / r, where Pmt = $9,000, r = 0.06 (12% annual rate compounded semiannually), n = 2 (compounding periods per year), t = 4 years. Plugging in these values gives the future value of $89,077.

Question 4

Miracle Corporation wants to withdraw $60,000 from a savings account at the end of each year for ten years beginning one year from now.The savings earns 10% and is compounded annually.Which one of the following reflects the correct procedure to determine the required initial investment at the beginning of the first year?
A) $60,000 times the present value of a 10-year, 10% ordinary annuity.
B) $60,000 divided by the future value of a 10-year, 10% ordinary annuity.
C) $60,000 times the future value of a 10-year, 10% ordinary annuity.
D) $6,000 divided by the present value of a 10-year, 10% ordinary annuity.

Accepted Answer

To determine the required initial investment to withdraw a fixed amount annually, you use the present value of an ordinary annuity formula. This accounts for the time value of money, allowing you to calculate the lump sum needed today to achieve those future withdrawals at the given interest rate.

Question 5

An annuity due and an ordinary annuity have equal payments, the same interest rates, and the amount of time between the payments is equal.Which statement is true?
A) The present value of the annuity due is less than the present value of the ordinary annuity.
B) The future value of the annuity due is less than the future value of the ordinary annuity.
C) The future value of the annuity due is equal to the future value of the ordinary annuity.
D) The present value of the annuity due is greater than the present value of the ordinary annuity.

Accepted Answer

The present value of an annuity due is greater than the present value of an ordinary annuity because payments for an annuity due are made at the beginning of each period, allowing more time for each payment to earn interest.

= $16,815.56

Question 15

Kaitlin is contemplating investing in Cocoa Beach Tans.She estimates that the company will pay the following dividends per share at the end of the next four years and that the current price of the company's common stock, which is $100 per share, will remain unchanged.  If Kaitlin wants to earn 12 percent on her investment and plans to sell the investment at the end of the fourth year, how much would she be willing to pay for one share of common stock? (Round all calculations to the nearest cent.)
A) $130. 00
B) $119. 07
C) $85. 90
D) $82. 00

Accepted Answer

Present value = Present value of dividends + Present value of proceeds
= [($6* 0.89286 from Table 4) + ($7 * 0.79719 from Table 4) + ($8* 0.71178 from Table 4) + ($9 * 0.63552 from Table 4)] + ($100 * 0.63552 from Table 4)
= $5.36 + $5.58 + $5.69 + $5.72 + $63.55 = $85.90

Question 16

For each of the following situations in A through D, indicate the abbreviation of the table that should be used to solve for the solution requested.Place the abbreviation of the respective table in the space provided.You may use each table more than once or not at all.
-How much would an investor deposit today in order to withdraw $12,000 at the beginning of each of the next four years, assuming that the first payment is withdrawn one year from today?
A) PVOA Present value of an ordinary annuity
B) PVAD Present value of an annuity due
C) PV Present value of a sum
D) FVOA Future value of an ordinary annuity
E) FVAD Future value of an annuity due
F) FV Future value of a sum

Accepted Answer

The situation describes a series of equal payments at the end of each period, which is characteristic of an ordinary annuity. Therefore, the Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity (PVOA) table should be used.

Question 17

For each of the following situations in A through D, indicate the abbreviation of the table that should be used to solve for the solution requested.Place the abbreviation of the respective table in the space provided.You may use each table more than once or not at all.
-If interest rates are compounded semi-annually, how much will a company accumulate in three years after making six equal semi-annual payments of $15,000 each? The first payment will be made today.
A) PVOA Present value of an ordinary annuity
B) PVAD Present value of an annuity due
C) PV Present value of a sum
D) FVOA Future value of an ordinary annuity
E) FVAD Future value of an annuity due
F) FV Future value of a sum

Accepted Answer

The correct table to use is the Future Value of an Annuity Due (FVAD) because the payments are made at the beginning of each period, and the question asks for the future value of these payments.

Question 18

For each of the following situations in A through D, indicate the abbreviation of the table that should be used to solve for the solution requested.Place the abbreviation of the respective table in the space provided.You may use each table more than once or not at all.
-If interest rates are compounded monthly, how much can a company withdraw per month for 6 months beginning one month from now if $100,000 is deposited today?
A) PVOA Present value of an ordinary annuity
B) PVAD Present value of an annuity due
C) PV Present value of a sum
D) FVOA Future value of an ordinary annuity
E) FVAD Future value of an annuity due
F) FV Future value of a sum

Accepted Answer

The situation described involves determining the amount that can be withdrawn regularly (monthly) from an initial deposit, over a specific period (6 months), which is a classic case of finding the present value of an ordinary annuity (PVOA). This is because the withdrawals represent a series of equal payments at regular intervals, and the calculation is based on the present value of these payments.

Question 19

For each of the following situations in A through D, indicate the abbreviation of the table that should be used to solve for the solution requested.Place the abbreviation of the respective table in the space provided.You may use each table more than once or not at all.
-You want to buy a house for $200,000 and finance it with interest compounded monthly.If it is financed over a 12?year period, what will be the amount of each annual payment, the first of which will be due at the beginning of the first year?
A) PVOA Present value of an ordinary annuity
B) PVAD Present value of an annuity due
C) PV Present value of a sum
D) FVOA Future value of an ordinary annuity
E) FVAD Future value of an annuity due
F) FV Future value of a sum

Accepted Answer

Since the payments for the house are annual and the first payment is due at the beginning of the first year, this situation describes an annuity due. The Present Value of an Annuity Due (PVAD) table is used to determine the amount of each payment when the payments are made at the beginning of each period.
