2. An annuity makes payments at the end of each year. The first payment is 10,000. The second
payment is 9980. The third payment is 9960. The payments continue until the last payment is
8000.
Using an annual effective interest rate of 8%, calculate the present value of this annuity.
Solution:
The hard part here is determining the number of payments. There are 101 payments. One way
to see this that there are there are 100 decreases (10000-8000)/20=100. But this does not include
the first

5. Megan invests 5000 in the Stanley Fund at the end of each year for 20 years. The Stanley Fund
pays an annual effective interest rate of 6%.
At the end of each year, any interest in the Stanley Fund is withdrawn and invested into the
Hahn Fund. The Hahn Fund pays an annual effective interest rate of 5%.
Determine the amount that Megan has at the end of 20 years in both funds combined.
Solution:
Megan will deposit 5000 at the end of each year for 20 years. Since the interest will be removed
at the end of each year, all that will be left in the Stanley Fund at the end of 20 years will be
Megan's deposits (20)(5000) 100,000.
The interest earned in the first year is 0 since the first contribution does not occur until the end of
the first year. The interest earned in the second year is (5000
)(0.06) 300. This is moved to the
Hahn Fund at the end of the second year. The interest earned in the third year is (2)(5000)(0.06)
600. This is moved to the Hahn Fund at the end of the third year.
19 0.05 19 0.05
This pattern continues until
(19)(5000)(0.06) 19(300) is moved to the Hahn Fund at the end of the 20th year.

6. Qian has a loan of 250,000 which has an annual effective interest rate of 5%. The loan will be
repaid with annual payments for 15 years.
The first payment is 10,000. The second payment is 20,000. The third payment is 30,000. The
fourth payment is 40,000. The fifth payment is 50,000. The payments at the end of the sixth
through the 15th year are a level amount of Q .
Determine the outstanding loan balance right after the 4th payment.

The easy way to do this is the retrospective approach which is the accumulated value of
past payments.

repaid with annual payments for 15 years.
The first payment is 10,000. The second payment is 20,000. The third payment is 30,000. The
fourth payment is 40,000. The fifth payment is 50,000. The payments at the end of the sixth
through the 15th year are a level amount of Q .
Determine Q .
Solution:
There are numerous methods to do this. I will do it multiple ways since this was the hardest
question on the test.
One method is to use our point in time as time 0. Then the loan must equal the prese

8. Ben is the beneficiary of a trust fund. He (or his heirs) will receive a monthly perpetuity from
the trust fund.
The monthly payments are 1000 at the end of each month for the first 10 years. Thereafter the
payments are each 10 higher than the previous payment. In other words, Ben (or his heirs) will
receive 120 payments of 1000 followed by payments of 1010, 1020, 1030, etc.
Calculate the present value of the payments from the trust fund using an interest rate of 12%
compounded monthly.
Solution:
You have to split these up into two parts. There are numerous ways to do this. This solution will
be 120 payments of 1000. Then beginning with the 121 payment of 1010 it is an arithmetically

9. Evan was awarded a scholarship upon his entrance to Purdue. The scholarship makes quarterly
payments for four years at the beginning of each quarter. The first payment was 1200 . The
second payment was 1200(1.1) . The third payment was 21200(1.1) . The payments continue
to increase with each payment being 110% of the prior payment.
Evan takes each payment and invests the payment into an account that earns an annual
effective interest rate of 8%.
Determine the amount that Evan will have at the end of four years.
Solution:
16
This is an annuity with payments in a geometric sequence. The first payment is 1200 and we
want the value at the end of 16 periods so the value is 1200(1 ) . The value at the end of the

10. Adam buys a new car for 30,000. Abbott Bank offers Adam the choice of two loans. Both loans
have an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly.
Loan #1 is a five year loan with 60 monthly payments. This is a standard loan with the first
payment at the end of the first month. The payment on this loan is Q .
Loan #2 is a five and one half year loan with 60 monthly payments. Under this loan, the
payments are deferred for six months which means that the first payment will be made at the
end of the 7th month. The payment on this loan is X .

interest rate of i is 10 million which is 10,000,000.
Determine the payment P under Option b.
