Solution: I = Pit
i = 0.1628 or 16.28%
2. A businessman wishes to earn 7% of his capital after payment of taxes. If the income from an available investment will be taxed at
an average rate of 42%, what minimum rate of return, before payment of taxes, must the investment offer be justified?
solution:
100r * 0.58 = 0.07
100r =12.07
r = 0.1207 or 12.07%
3. How long will it take money to double itself if invested at 5% compounded annually?
Given: F = 2
P=1
r = 5% = 0.05
m=1
t=?
solution:
F = P ( 1 + r/m ) ^mt
2 = 1 (1 + 0.05/1) ^1t
2 = 1.05^t
Log 2 = t log 1.05
0.3010 = t (0.02119)
0.3010/0.02119 = t0.02119/0.02119
t = 14.20
t = 14 years and 2 months
4. The amount of P50,000.00 was deposited in the bank earning an interest of 7.5% per annum. Determine the total amount at the
end of 5 years, if the principal and interest were not withdrawn during the period.
Given:
P = 50,000
r = 7.5% = 0.075
t = 5 years
m=1
F=?
solution:
F = P (1 + r/m)^mt
F = 50000 (1 + 0.075/1)^(1)(5)
F = 71,781.47
9. If P5,000.00 shall accumulate for 10 years at 8% compounded quarterly. Find the compounded interest at the end of 10 years.
Given:
P = 5000
t = 10 years
r = 8% = 0.08
m=4
F=?
Solution:
F = P (1 + r/m)^mt
F = 5000 (1 + 0.08/4)^(4)(10)
F = 11,040.20 – 5000
Compound interest = 6,040.20
10. By the condition of a will, the sum of P2,000.00 is left to a girl to be held in a trust fund by her guardian until it amounts to P50,000.00.
When will the girl receive the money if the fund is invested at 8% compounded quarterly?
Given: P = 2000
F = 50,000
r = 8% = 0.08
m=4
t=?
solution:
F = P (1+r/m)^mt
50,000=2,000 (1 + 0.08/4)^(4)(t)
t = 40 years and 6months
11. A student plan to deposit P1,500.00 in the bank now and another P3,000.00 for the next 2 years. If he plans to withdraw P5,000.00 3
years after his last deposit for the purpose of buying shoes, what will be the amount of money left in the bank after one year of his
withdrawal? Effective annual interest rate is 10%.
Given: P = 1,500
r = 10% = 0.10
t=2
m=1
F=?
Solution:
F1= P (1+r/m)^mt
F1=1,500(1+0.10/1)^(1)(2)
F1= 1,815 + 3000
F1 = 4,815
F2= 4,815 (1 + 0.10/1)^(1)(3)
F2 = 6,408.77 – 5000
F2= 1,408.77
F3 = 1,408.77 (1 + 0.10/1)^(1)(1)
F3= 1,549.64
14. A man borrowed P1,000,000.00 at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded quarterly. What is the effective rate?
Given:
r = 12% = 0.12
m=4
ie = ?
solution:
ie = (1+r/m)^m – 1
ie = (1 + 0.12/4)^4 -1
ie = 0.1255 or 12.55%
15. A firm borrows P2,000.00 for 6 years at 8%. At the end of 6 years, it renews the loan for the amount due plus P2,000.00 more for 2
years at 8%. What is the lump sum due?
Given: P = 2,000 r = 8% =0.08 t1 = 6 t2= 2
Solution:
F = P (1+r/m)^mt
F = 2000(1+0.08/1)^(1)(6)
F = 3173.75
F2 = 2000(1 + 0.08/1)^(1)(2)
F2 = 2332.8
F = 3173.75 + 2332.8
F = 5506.55
