EXERCISES—SET A

EA-1A. Simple and Compound Interest
(LO1)

a. 1: $20,000 x 0.02 x 6 = $2,400
2: $20,000 x 0.04 x 4 = $3,200
3: $20,000 x 0.06 x 3 = $3,600

b. 1: $20,000 x 1.12616 = $22,523.20 - $20,000.00 = $2,523.20
2: $20,000 x 1.16986 = $23,397.20 - $20,000.00 = $3,397.20
3: $20,000 x 1.19102 = $23,820.40 - $20,000.00 = $3,820.40


EA-2A. Future Value Computation
(LO2)

$5,000 x 1.25971 = $6,298.55

,EA-5A. Present Value Computation
(LO3)

$5,000 x 2.57710 = $12,885.50


EA-6A. Future Value Computation
(LO2)

$10,000 x 1.26248 = $12,624.80


EA-7A. Present Value Computation
(LO3)

$10,000 x 0.79209 = $7,924.90


EA-8A. Future Value Computation
(LO2)

$10,000 x 9.54911 = $95,491.10


EA-9A. Future Value Computation
(LO2)

$10,000 x 9.21423 = $92,142.30


EA-10A. Present Value Computation
(LO3)

$150,000 x 0.78353 = $117,529.50


EA-11A. Future Value Computation
(LO2)

(a) $12,000 x 1.46933 =$17,631.96

,EA-12A. Future Value Computation
(LO2)

(a) $5,000 x 1.36049 = $6,802.45
(b) $5,000 x 1.36857 = $6,842.85
(c) $5,000 x 1.37279 = $6,863.95


EA-13A. Present Value Computation
(LO3)

(a) $30,000 x 0.79383 = $23,814.90
(b) $30,000 x 0.79031 = $23,709.30
(c) $30,000 x 0.78849 = $23,654.70


EA-14A. Future Value Computation
(LO2)

$3,200 x 30.90565 = $98,898.08
Since this is greater than the required $90,000, it appears the plan will be successful.


EA-15A. Present Value Computation
(LO3)

1. $500,000
2. $540,000 x 0.92593 = $500,002.20
3. $50,000 x 9.81815 = $490,907.50
4. $45,000 x 11.25778 = $506,600.10

Option #4 is the best choice.
