Mr. and Mrs. Palin want to buy a house worth £200,000. They have £50,000 which they
will use as initial payment and they are now considering borrowing the remaining from a
mortgage lender. Assuming that the mortgage is paid monthly in 30 years (the payments
are done at the end of each month) and that the mortgage interest rate is 0.5% (per month)
how much will Mr. and Mrs. Palin have to pay per month to the mortgage lender?
Question 8

payments at an interest rate of 12%, what will your payment be?
b. What if you make the first payment on the loan immediately instead of at
the end of the 1st year?

Question 9 (future value of annuity)


You believe you will need to have saved $500,000 by the time you retire in 40 years in
order to live comfortably. If the interest rate is 6% per year, how much must you save
each year to meet your retirement goal? Assume you will save the same amount each
year.

Question 10
A couple will retire in 50 years; they plan to spend about $30,000 a year in retirement,
which should last about 25 years. They believe that they can earn 8% interest on
retirement savings.
a. If they make constant annual payments into a savings plan, how much will
they need to save each year? Assume the first payment comes in 1 year.
b. How would the answer to part (a) change if the couple also realise that in
20 years, they will need to spend $60,000 on their child’s college
education? Note that again the payments should be constant.

Question 11
Suppose you can borrow money at 8.6% (nominal rate) compounded semi-annually or
8.4% (nominal rate) compounded monthly. Which is the better deal?

Question 12
Suppose that BankX is paying you an EAR of 4% what is the equivalent semi-annual
rate? (hint: since the rates are equivalent, it has to be the same for you to invest your
money for 1 year at 4% or for 1 year at this new rate).

Question 13
John just bought a house. He paid a deposit of £30,000 and he asked for a 25 years
