Chapter 09: Time Value of Money
45. Annuity with changing interest rates (LO4) You are chairperson of the investment fund
for the Continental Soccer League. You are asked to set up a fund of semiannual payments
to be compounded semiannually to accumulate a sum of $200,000 after 10 years at an 8
percent annual rate (20 payments). The first payment into the fund is to take place six
months from today, and the last payment is to take place at the end of the 10th year.
a. Determine how much the semiannual payment should be. (Round to whole numbers.)
On the day after the sixth payment is made (the beginning of the fourth year) the interest
rate goes up to a 10 percent annual rate, and you can earn a 10 percent annual rate on funds
that have been accumulated as well as all future payments into the fund. Interest is to be
compounded semiannually on all funds.
b. Determine how much the revised semiannual payments should be after this rate
change (there are 14 payments and compounding dates). The next payment will be in
the middle of the fourth year. (Round all values to whole numbers.)
9-45. Solution:
Appendix C
A IFA
a. A FV / FV
$200,000 / 29.778(4%, 20 periods)
$6,716
=
=
=
b. First determine how much the old payments are equal to after
6 periods at 4%. Appendix C.
A IFA
FV = A × FV (4%, 6 periods)
= $6,716 × 6.633
= $44,547
Appendix A
IF
FV = PV × FV (5%, 14 periods)
= $44,547 ×1.980
= $88,203
