You make a one-time deposit of $100,000 into an account (Account A) which pays out 8% effective annual interest at the end of each year. Each year, you take the interest payout and deposit it into an account (Account B) earning an effective annual interest rate of 6%. Find the amount in Account B 15 years after your original $100,000 deposit. You make deposits of $2,000 into an account (Account A) at the end of each year, for 20 years. This account pays out 10% effective annual interest at the end of each year. Each year, you take the interest payout and deposit it into an account (Account B) earning an effective annual interest rate of 5%. Find the total amount in both accounts combined after 20 years i.e., immediately after the last deposit. You borrow $100,000 for 5 years, at an annual rate of 8% convertible quarterly. You intend to pay off the loan via level amortization payments at the end of each quarter. Determine the .total amount of payments you make over the life of the loan. You borrow $300,000 for 30 years, at an annual effective interest rate of 10%. You intend to pay off the loan via level year-end amortization payments. Find the amount of principal in your 17th payment. You borrow $200,000 for 10 years, at an annual effective interest rate of 12%. You intend to pay off the loan via level amortization payments at the end of each month. Find the total amount of interest paid during the life of the loan.

$50,000, and then refinance the outstanding balance with a new 15-year mortgage at a 5% effective annual interest rate. Both mortgages require annual year-end level amortization payments. Find the amount of interest in the 4th payment of the new mortgage. (7) You borrow $400,000 for 30 years, at an annual effective interest rate of 7.5%. You intend to pay off the loan via the sinking fund method, with level year-end interest payments, and level year-end sinking fund deposits. The sinking fund earns an effective annual interest rate of 4%. Find the balance in the sinking fund after 22 years. A 10-year, $150,000 loan at a nominal annual interest rate of 12% convertible monthly is being paid off via the sinking fund method. The nominal annual interest rate earned on the sinking fund is 8% convertible monthly. Level sinking fund deposits and loan interest payments are each made at the end of each month. What is the net amount of interest paid during the 38th month of the loan? (Net interest during a given month is the amount of interest paid on the loan, minus the amount of interest earned on the sinking fund, during that month.) A 30-year 8% annual coupon bond has a face (and redemption) value of $1,000. Find the price of the bond, assuming an annual effective interest rate of 10%. A 25-year 6% semi-annual-coupon bond (meaning that a coupon of 6% / 2 = 3% is paid every six months, because the coupon rate is generally denoted as an annual rate, even if payments are twice per year) has a face (and redemption) value of $1,000. Find the price of the bond, assuming a nominal annual interest rate of 5% convertible semiannually.
