Question 1

Accepted Answer

D

Question 2

What is the present value of $7,500 to be received in 8 years if 6% is the proper discount rate?

Accepted Answer

The present value (PV) can be calculated using the formula: PV = FV / (1 + r)^n, where FV is the future value ($7,500), r is the discount rate (6% or 0.06), and n is the number of periods (8 years). Plugging these values into the formula gives: PV = $7,500 / (1 + 0.06)^8 = $4,705.59.

Question 3

A money multiplier certificate is selling for $8,000 today and promises to be worth $10,000 in 3 years. What is the rate of return on this investment?

Accepted Answer

The rate of return can be calculated using the formula for the annual compound interest rate: $$r = \left(\frac{FV}{PV}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1$$ where $FV$ is the future value ($10,000), $PV$ is the present value ($8,000), and $n$ is the number of years (3). Plugging in the values gives $$r = \left(\frac{10000}{8000}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} - 1 = 1.25^{\frac{1}{3}} - 1 \approx 0.0772$$ or 7.72%.

Question 4

The Moose Lodge can afford to pay $12,000 at the end of each of the next 30 years to repay a mortgage on their hotel property. If the interest rate is 5.50%, what is the most The Moose Lodge can borrow?

The most The Moose Lodge can borrow is calculated using the present value of an annuity formula, which factors in the annual payment, interest rate, and number of periods. Given the annual payment of $12,000, an interest rate of 5.50%, and a term of 30 years, the correct calculation results in option A, $174,404.94, as the maximum amount that can be borrowed.
