An investment of $1 will double in 27.72 years at a force of interest δ.

An investment of $1 will
increase to 9.55 in n years at a nominal rate of discount numerically equal to δ and convertible
quarterly. Calculate n.

A loan of $1000 is made at a discount rate of 12% compounded semiannually. The loan is to be
repaid with three payments: $400 at the end of the first year, $800 at the end of the fourth year and
the balance at the end of the tenth year. Calculate the amount of the final payment.

A payment of $3000 is due at time 15 years. Between times 0 to 4 years, the annual effective
interest rate is 6%. Between times 4 to 8 years, the annual effective discount rate is 8% and between
times 8 to 15 years, the force of interest is 4%.

Calculate the present value of the payment at time 0.

𝐴(𝑡) = 𝐴(0)𝑒 𝛿𝑡

3000 = 𝐴(0)𝑒 0.04×7


𝐴(0) = 2267.35
𝑃𝑉 = 𝐹𝑉(1 − 𝑑)𝑡

𝑃𝑉 = 2267.35(1 − 0.08)4

𝑃𝑉 = 1624.31
𝐹𝑉 = 𝑃𝑉(1 + 𝑖)𝑡

1624.31 = 𝑃𝑉(1 + 0.06)4

𝑃𝑉 = 1286.6 = 1287
The effective rate of discount is 6%. Linda will receive $500 four years from today, $1,000 eight years
from today, and $2,000 twelve years from today. Find the combined present value of her three
future cash flows.

𝑃𝑉1 = 500(1 − 0.06)4 = 390.37

𝑃𝑉2 = 1000(1 − 0.06)8 = 609.57

𝑃𝑉3 = 2000(1 − 0.06)12 = 951.84


𝑃𝑉𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 390.37 + 609.57 + 951.84 = 1951.78
