1 Given an 8 percent return, how long will it take to quadruple your money?

Slide 12 $4 = $1(1.08)^n
4/1 = (1.08)^n
(1.08)^n = 4
n ln (1.08) = ln (4)
n = ln (4) / ln (1.08)
18.01 =LN(4)/LN(1.08)
At 8 percent, it will take 18.01 years to make 4X your investment.

2 Car requires 5K in cash up front and $300 in monthly loan payments for the
Slide 29 next 3 years, starting next month at 3 percent APR, compounding monthly.
How much is the car worth?
0.0025 =0.03/12
36 =3*12
15315.94 =5000 + (300/0.0025)*(1-(1/1.0025)^(3*12))

3 You would like to pay off your 45K loan over 3 years, starting next year.
Slide 35 The loan compounds at 6 percent per year; how much do you pay each year?
Would the payments average to more than $1.25K per month or less?
16834.94 =(45000)*(0.06)/(1-(1/1.06)^3)
1402.91 =(45000)*(0.06)/(1-(1/1.06)^3)/12
