(b) For a 100% annual rate of return
F = $1 (1 + 1.0)5 = $32, not $5!

F = P (1 + i)n
12 109 = 24(1 + i)365
(1 + i)365 = 12 x 100/24= 5.00 108
This may be immediately solved on most hand calculators:
i* = 5.64%
Solution based on compound interest tables:
(F/P, i%, 365) = 5.00 108
= (F/P, i%, 100) (F/P, i%, 100) (F/P, i%, 100) (F/P, i%, 65)
Try i = 6%
(F/P, 6%, 365) = (339.3)3 (44.14) = 17.24 108 (i too high)
Try i = 5%
(F/P, 5%, 365) = (131.5)3 (23.84) = 0.542 108 (i too low)
Performing linear interpolation:
i* = 5% + (1%) [((5 0.54) (108))/((17.24 0.54) (108))]
= 5% + 4.46/16.70

The easiest solution is to solve one cycle of the repeating diagram:

$80
$200
$120
$120 = $80 (F/P, i%, 1)

$120 = $80 (1 + i)
(1 + i) = $120/$80 = 1.50
i* = 0.50 = 50%
Alternative Solution:
EUAB = EUAC
$80 = [$200 (P/F, i%, 2) + $200 (P/F, i%, 4) + $200 (P/F, i%, 6)] (A/P, i%, 6)
Try i = 50%
$80 = [$200 (0.4444) + $200 (0.1975) + $200 (0.0878)] (0.5481) = $79.99
Therefore i* = 50%

The one-time $2,000 life membership fee avoids the 40-year series of beginning-ofyear membership dues that start at $200 and increase 3% annually.
(a) The equation for determining the rate of return for the life membership is the
difference of the present worth of the two cash flows set to zero:
2000 200 206 (P/A, 3%, ROR, 39) = 0 (39 since beginning-of-year
payments)
1800 1 (1 0.03)39 (1 i) 39
(b) Use Excel where Result =

and vary i = ROR until
206
i 0.03
zero is obtained. ROR = 14.243%

Next, because it is paid annually, the effective annual interest rate is 6.0%.

(b) The fact that the dealer would accept $5,200 cash for the car indicates its true

based on the original $6,000 cost but you only receive a car worth only $5,200!

(a) NPW = 0 = 6000 250 177.14 (P/A, i, 36), so, (P/A, i, 36) = 32.46 and
interpolating
32.871 32.46

(b) Worth of the car = $6,000 $800 = $5,200 but the payments are determined by
the actual cost to buyer, here $6,000. Thus, the payments are the same as
above.
NPW = 0 = 5200 250 177.14 (P/A, i, 36), so, (P/A, i, 36) = 27.944 and

interpolating i = 1.25% + (0.25%)
28.847 27.661
r = (12) (1.440%) = 17.28% and ia = (1 + 0.01440)12 1 = 0.1872 or 18.72%.
(c) The actual value of the car seems to be the most important factor!
7-39
The amount of cash paid will be $75,000 $50,000 = $25,000 with $50,000
financed, so, the monthly payments will be 50000 (A/P, 8%, 4) = (50000) (0.3019) =
$15,095. The reduction in cost if one pays entirely in cash is $75,000 x 0.10 =
$7,500, so, a 100% cash payment would be $75,000 $7,500 = $67,500 (true value
of equipment).

This is a thought-provoking problem for which there is no single answer. Two
possible solutions are provided below.
(a) Assuming the MS degree is obtained by attending graduate school at night while
continuing with a full-time job:
MS
Degree
A = $3,000
n = 10
$1,500 $1,500
Cost: $1,500 per year for 2 years

Benefit: $3,000 per year for 10 years
Computation as of award of MS degree:
$1,500 (F/A, i%, 2) = $3,000 (P/A, i%, 10)
i* > 60
(b) Assuming the MS degree is obtained by one of year of full-time study
Cost: Difference between working & going to school. Whether working or at
school there are living expenses. The cost of the degree might be $24,000
Benefit: $3,000 per year for 10 years
$24,000 = $3,000 (P/A, i%, 10)
i* = 4.3%

The problem requires an estimate for n- the expected life of the infant. Seventy or
seventy-five years might be the range of reasonable estimates. Here we will use 71
years.
The purchase of a $200 life subscription avoids the series of beginning-of-year
payments of $12.90. Based on 71 beginning-of-year payments,
A = $12.90
.
n = 70
$200
$200 - $12.90 = $12.90 (P/A, i%, 70)

(P/A, i%, 70) = $187.10/$ 12.90 = 14.50

To solve for the monthly interest rate set the two PWs equal to each other, so,

0.53846 .
100 = 65 65 (P/F, i, 5) . Thus, (1 i) 5

Solving get i = 0.1318 or 13.18% and ia = (1 + 0.1318)12 1 = 3.418 or 342%.
Unless the student is graduating in January or just doesnt have the $100, it is

To solve for the monthly interest rate set the two PWs equal to each other, so,

2.624 2.611
i = 7% + (1%)
= 7.28%, so, r = 4 x 0.0728 = 0.2912 or 29.1% and
2.624 2.577
ia = (1 + 0.0728)4 1 = 0.3246 or 32.5%. This is a high rate of return, but some firms
use an even higher hurdle rate for projects.

$65,000 = $18,000( 1 + (P/A, i , 3))
The amount that the series of future payments is worth is:
65000 + 18000 = 47000 = 18000*(P/A, i , 3)
Using the end-of-period designation (default) in RATE (Excel) yields:
RATE(3,18000,-47000) = 7.2766%
One could also solve with quarterly payments at the beginning of the period:
RATE(4,18000,-65000,0,1) = 7.2766%

The rate of return in the incremental investment (B- A) is less than the desired 6%.
In this situation the lower cost alternative (A) Gas Station should be selected.
7-68
MARR = 5%
P = $30,000 n = 35 years
Alternative 1: Withdraw $15,000 today and lose $15,000

Alternative 2: Wait, leave your fund in the system until retirement.
Equivalency seeks to determine what future amount is equal to $15,000 now.
F = P (1 + i)n
= $30,000 (1.05)35
= $30,000 (5.516015)
= $165,480.46
Therefore:
$15,000 = $165,480.46 (1 + i)35
$15,000 (1 + i)35 = $165,480.46
(1 + i) = [(165,480.46/$15,000)]1/35
i = 1.071 1 = 7.1002% > 5%
Unless $15,000 can be invested with a return higher than 7.1%, it is better to wait for
35 years for the retirement fund. $15,000 now is only equivalent to $165,480.46 35
years from now if the interest rate now is 7.1% instead of the quoted 5%.

This is an unusual problem with an extremely high rate of return. Available interest
tables obviously are useless.
One may write:
$0.5 = $3.5 (1 + i)1 + $0.9 (1 + i)2 + $3.9 (1 + i)3 + $8.6 (1 + i)4 +
For high interest rates only the first few terms of the series are significant:
Try i = 650%
PW of Benefits = $3.5/(1 + 6.5) + $0.9/(1 + 6.5)2 + $3.9/(1 + 6.5)3 + $8.6/(1 + 6.5)4 +
= 0.467 + 0.016 + 0.009 + 0.003

= 0.495
Try i = 640%
PW of Benefits = $3.5/(1 + 6.4) + $0.9/(1 + 6.4)2 + $3.9/(1 + 6.4)3 + $8.6/(1 + 6.4)4 +
= 0.473 + 0.016 + 0.010 + 0.003

= 0.502
i* = 642%

For any row: Salary = (1 + 0.02)*(Previous years salary)

Deposit = (Percent deposit)*(Current years salary)
Savings = (1 + 0.05)*(Previous years savings) + Current years deposit
To solve, just vary the percent deposit to get $1M in savings for year 40.
Amount saved is $1,000,132.92 in 40 years at 11.29%.
