h. 1. Define (a) the stated, or quoted, or nominal rate, (iNom), and (b) the periodic rate

(iPer).

ANSWER: The quoted, or nominal, rate is merely the quoted percentage rate of return. The

h. 2. Will the future value be larger or smaller if we compound an initial amount

more often than annually, for example, every 6 months, or semiannually, holding

the stated interest rate constant? Why?

Answer: Accounts that pay interest more frequently than once a year, for example,

h. 3. What is the future value of $100 after 5 years under 12% annual compounding?

Semiannual compounding? Quarterly compounding? Monthly compounding?

h. 4. What is the effective annual rate (EAR or EFF%)? What is the EFF% for a

nominal rate of 12%, compounded semiannually? Compounded quarterly?

Compounded monthly? Compounded daily?

j. 1. Construct an amortization schedule for a $1,000, 10% annual rate loan with 3

equal installments.

2. What is the annual interest expense for the borrower, and the annual interest

income for the lender, during Year 2?

Answer: To begin, note that the face amount of the loan, $1,000, is the present value of a

3-year annuity at a 10 percent rate:

We have an equation with only one unknown, so we can solve it to find PMT. The

easy way is with a financial calculator. Input N = 3, I/YR = 10, PV = -1,000, FV = 0,

and then press the PMT button to get PMT = 402.1148036, rounded to $402.11.

Now make the following points regarding the amortization schedule:

The $402.11 annual payment includes both interest and principal. Interest in the

first year is calculated as follows:

The repayment of principal is the difference between the $402.11 annual payment

and the interest payment:

The loan balance at the end of the first year is:

k. Suppose on January 1 you deposit $100 in an account that pays a nominal, or

quoted, interest rate of 11.33463%, with interest added (compounded) daily.

How much will you have in your account on October 1, or 9 months later?

days between January 1 and October 1. Calculate FV as follows:

An alternative approach would be to first determine the effective annual rate of

interest, with daily compounding, using the formula:

(Some calculators, e.g., the hp 10b and 17b, have this equation built in under the

Thus, if you left your money on deposit for an entire year, you would earn $12 of

interest, and you would end up with $112. The question, though, is this: how much

will be in your account on October 1?

Here you will be leaving the money on deposit for 9/12 = 3/4 = 0.75 of a year.

You would use the regular set-up, but with a fractional exponent:

Fractional time periods

Thus far all of our examples have dealt with full years. Now we are going to look at

the situation when we are dealing with fractional years, such as 9 months, or 10 years.

In these situations, proceed as follows:

As always, start by drawing a time line so you can visualize the situation.

Then think about the interest rate–the nominal rate, the compounding periods per

Answer: 0 1 2 3

Here we have a different situation. The payments occur annually, but compounding

occurs each 6 months. Thus, we cannot use normal annuity valuation techniques.

l. 3. Is the stream an annuity?

Answer: The payment stream is an annuity in the sense of constant amounts at regular

intervals, but the intervals do not correspond with the compounding periods. This

l. 4. An important rule is that you should never show a nominal rate on a time line or

use it in calculations unless what condition holds? (Hint: Think of annual

compounding, when INOM = EFF% = IPER.) What would be wrong with your

answer to questions l(1) and l(2) if you used the nominal rate (10%) rather than

the periodic rate (INOM /2 = 10%/2 = 5%)?

Answer: iNom can only be used in the calculations when annual compounding occurs. If the

m. Suppose someone offered to sell you a note calling for the payment of $1,000 15

months from today. They offer to sell it to you for $850. You have $850 in a

bank time deposit which pays a 6.76649% nominal rate with daily compounding,

which is a 7% effective annual interest rate, and you plan to leave the money in

the bank unless you buy the note. The note is not risky–you are sure it will be

paid on schedule. Should you buy the note? Check the decision in three ways:

(1) by comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your

money in the bank, (2) by comparing the PV of the note with your current bank

account, and (3) by comparing the EFF% on the note versus that of the bank

account.

Answer: You can solve this problem in three ways–(1) by compounding the $850 now in the

bank for 15 months and comparing that FV with the $1,000 the note will pay, (2) by

Alternatively, 15 months = (1.25 years)(365 days per year) = 456.25  456

The slight difference is due to using n = 456 rather than n = 456.25.
