CHAPTER 4 –
APR = 52(7.64%)
APR = 397.42%
c. Using the cash flows from the loan, we have the PVA and the annuity payments and need to find
the interest rate, so:
PVA = $68.43 = $25[{1 – [1/(1 + r)]4}/r]
Using a spreadsheet, trial and error, or a financial calculator, we find:
73. To answer this, we can diagram the perpetuity cash flows, which are: (Note, the subscripts are only to
differentiate when the cash flows begin. The cash flows are all the same amount.)

C1 C1 C1
Thus, each of the increased cash flows is a perpetuity in itself. So, we can write the cash flows
stream as:
74. Since it is only an approximation, we know the Rule of 72 is exact for only one interest rate. Using
the basic future value equation for an amount that doubles in value and solving for t, we find:
FV = PV(1 + r)t
$2 = $1(1 + r)t
ln(2) = t ln(1 + r)
t = ln(2)/ln(1 + r)
75. We are only concerned with the time it takes money to double, so the dollar amounts are irrelevant.
So, we can write the future value of a lump sum with continuously compounded interest as:
