EXERCISES:
1. You take out a loan that requires you to make annual payments of $5,000
at the end of each year for the next 6 years. The interest rate on the loan is
4% per year. What is the present value of the loan?
2. You plan to pay monthly rent of $1,200 for the next 3 years. If the interest
rate is 5% per year, compounded monthly, what is the present value of the
total rent payments, assuming the payments are made at the beginning of
each month (Annuity Due)?
3. John plans to contribute $500 every quarter to a retirement account that
earns 8% annual interest, compounded quarterly. If he continues this for 10
years, what will be the future value of his retirement account at the end of
10 years?
4. Maria plans to go on a vacation in 5 years and wants to save for it by
depositing $1,000 at the beginning of each year into an account that earns
6% annual interest. What will be the future value of her savings after 5
years?
5. Michael wants to set up a college fund for his daughter by contributing
$3,000 at the end of each year into a deferred annuity that earns 5%
interest per year. He plans to start the contributions after a deferral period
of 4 years and will make contributions for a total of 6 years. What will be
