Calculate the FV of the withdrawals which is how much her actual account fell short of
her plan. END mode. Inputs: N = 3; I = 10; PMT = −5,000. Output: FV = $16,550.
Alternative solution: Calculate FV of original plan. BEGIN mode. Inputs: N = 5; I = 10;
PMT = −8,000. Output: FV = $53,724.80. Calculate FV of actual deposits less
withdrawals, take the difference. Inputs: = 8,000; = 8,000; N1 = 2; = 3,000;

52. Your mother's employer offers a tax-deferred retirement plan (a 401-b plan, which was authorized by Congress to
encourage savings) which would permit her to invest, tax-free until she retires, up to 15 percent of her salary. Once you
are out of school (one year from today), she figures she can save $1,000 every 6 months, or $2,000 per year. The
insurance company which manages the retirement fund promises to pay a stated (or simple) rate of 12 percent per year,
but with quarterly compounding. If your mother invests $1,000 each six months, starting six months after you graduate (or
18 months from today), how much will she have 5 years from now, assuming the last payment is made at the end of Year
5? (Hint: She will make a total of 8 payments.)

Begin by finding the quarterly or periodic rate, which is 12/4 = 3%. Equation solution: A
way to solve the problem is to recognize that we have an 8-period annuity of $1,000 per
period. Note, though, that the effective 6-month interest rate must be used. The effective
annual rate of (1.03)4 − 1 = 12.55%, but that rate cannot be used for the annuity because
the payments are semiannual. What you must do is get the effective 6-month rate, found
as follows: (1.03)2 − 1 = 0.0609 = 6.09%. (Note that (1.0609)2 − 1 = 12.55%.) Calculate
the effective 6-month rate
Calculate the FV of the annuity

Financial calculator
solution: Calculate the undiscounted values of each of three perpetuities at the point in
time where they begin, using numerical methods, then calculate PV at t = 0 of the
combined perpetuity values. PVp1 at Time = 0: $100/0.10 = $1,000 PVp2 at Time = 5;
$150/0.10 = $1,500 PVp3 at Time = 9; $200/0.10 = $2,000 Inputs: = 1,000; = 0;
N1 = 4; = 1,500; = 0; N3 = 3; = 2,000; I = 10. Output: NPV = $2,779.577 ≈
$2,779.58.

The following question(s) may require the use of a financial calculator.
58. You want to borrow $1,000 from a friend for one year, and you propose to pay her $1,120 at the end of the year. She
agrees to lend you the $1,000, but she wants you to pay her $10 of interest at the end of each of the first 11 months plus
$1,010 at the end of the 12th month. How much higher is the effective annual rate under your friend's proposal than under
your proposal?
a.
0.00%
b.
0.45%
c.
0.68%
d.
0.89%
e.
1.00%
ANSWER:
c
RATIONALE:
Your proposal: rEAR 1 = $120/$1,000 rEAR 1 = 12% Your friend's proposal: Interest is
being paid each month ($10/$1,000 = 1% per month), so it compounds, and the rEAR is
higher than rSIMPLE = 12%: Difference = 12.68% −
12.00% = 0.68% You could also visualize your friend's proposal in a cash flow time line
format: Insert those
cash flows in the cash flow register of a calculator and solve for IRR. The answer is 1%,
but this is a monthly rate. The simple rate is 12 (1%) = 12%, which converts to an ER of
12.68% as follows: Input into a financial calculator the following: P/YR = 12, NOM% = 12,
and solve for EFF% = 12.68%
