HW 3

1. Assume that you will get $13,500 a year for the next five years. Interest rate is 6.8% per
annum.

a. If you receive the amount at the end of each year, what is the present value of the
annuity?

The formula is the one used for ordinary annuity.

[ ]
1
1−
( 1+r )t
PV =C
r

This way.

[ ]
1
1−
PV =13,500
( 1.068 )5
0.068
=13,500
[
0.28312869719842
0.068 ]
=13,500 [ 4.122248084115327 ] =55,650.35

If you receive the amount at the start of each year, what is the present value of the
annuity?

In this part we use the formula for the annuity due, which is similar to the ordinary
annuity instead you multiply the result to (1+r)

PV =55,650.35∗( 1.068 )=59 , 434.57

b. Assume that you invest the annuity every time you receive for the next five years. You
receive the money in the way specified in question 1 a. What is the future value of the
annuity? What is the future value of the annuity if the annuity is paid in the way specified
in question 1 b?

To get the future value of the way specified in question 1a is necessary the formula of
ordinary annuity.

FV =C [ ( 1+r )t −1
r ]
Then.

FV =13,500 [
( 1.068 )5−1
0.068 ]
=13,500
[
0.389492680813568
0.068 ]
=13,500 [ 5.727833541376 ] =77,325.75

And for the way specified in question 1b, the formula is similar to ordinary annuity, but
we multiply to (1+r).

FV =77325.75∗( 1.068 )=82,583.90


c. From a, b above, whose present value is bigger? From a, b above, whose future value is
bigger? Is it always the case?

The present value and future value of annuity due are bigger than the ordinary annuity.
This because we start the year with the cash flow instead of the ordinary annuity which is
added at the end of the year.

2. If the interest rate is 5.3% per annum, and the cash flow of $6,400 will occur from 15
years from now(t=15) forever, what is the value of the cash flow 7 years from now(t=7)?

36,633.51

3. You are trying to borrow $115,000 from the bank. You will be able to pay back $2,250
every month. If the interest compounds monthly, what is the maximum level of interest
you can afford for the 60-month-borrowing?
