3-34 CHAPTER 3: MATHEMATICS OF FINANCE
(C) The amount collected during the 10-year period is
($5,000)40 = $200,000.
38. PV = $4,000, i = 0.009, n = 48
PMT = PV 1(1 )
n
i
0.009
39. FV = $50,000, r = 6.12% = 0.0612, m = 12, i = 0.0612
12 = 0.0051, n = 12(6) = 72
i
0.0051
40. To determine how long it will take money to double, we need to solve the equation 2P = P(1 + i)n for n.
From this equation, we obtain:
(1 + i)n = 2
(A) i = 0.075
365 = 0.000205479
41. First, we must calculate the future value of $8,000 at 5.5% interest compounded monthly for 2.5 years.
A = P(1 + i)n where P = $8,000, i = 0.055
