HANDOUT C–1 SOLUTION
PRESENT AND FUTURE VALUES
All interest rates are annual. Round each answer to the nearest cent.
1. What is the future value of $12,000 after ten years, assuming 9% interest?
n = 10; i = 9%; Payments = $12,000 each
Future value of $1 factor from Table C.1 = 2.36736
2.36736 × $12,000 = $28,408.32
2. What is the future value of $7,500 after five years, assuming 12% interest?
n = 5; i = 12%; Payments = $7,500 each
Future value factor of $1 from Table C.1 = 1.76234
1.76234 × $7,500 = $13,217.55
3. What is the present value of $3,000 received 5 years from now, assuming 20% interest?
n =5; i = 20%; Present Value = $3,000
Present value factor of $1 from Table C.2 = 0.40188
0.40188 × $3,000 = $1,205.64
4. What is the present value of $3,000 received 5 years from now, assuming 5% interest, compounded
quarterly?
n =20 (or 5 years × 4 payment periods per year); i = 5%; Future Value = $3,000
Present value factor of $1 from Table C.2 = 0.37689
0.37689 × $3,000 = $1,130.67
5. What is the future value of an annuity of $12,000 after ten years, assuming 9% interest?
n =10; i = 9%; Payments = $12,000 each
Future value of annuity of $1 factor from Table C.3 = 15.19293
15.19293 × $12,000 = $182,315.16
6. What is the future value of an annuity of $7,500 after five years, assuming 12% interest?
n =5; i = 12%; Payments = $7,500 each
Future value factor of annuity of $1 from Table C.3 = 6.35285
6.35285 × $7,500 = $47,646.38
7. What is the present value of a $50,000 annuity received over 20 years, assuming 9% interest?
n =20; i = 9%; Payments = $50,000 each
Present value factor of annuity of $1 from Table C.4 = 9.12855
9.12855 × $50,000 = $456,427.50
8. What is the present value of a $4,000 annuity received over 5 years, assuming 20% interest?
n =5; i = 20%; Payments = $4,000 each
Present value factor of annuity of $1 from Table C.4 = 2.99061
2.99061 × $4,000 = $11,962.44
