Section 5.1 Compound

Simple Interest Formulas:

Interest: I = Prt

Accumulated amount: A = P (1 + rt)

Here P is the principal (money you start out with), r is the (as a decimal), and t is the time (in years).

1. Find the accumulated amount at the end of 9 months on a $1800 bank deposit paying simple interest at a rate of 9%/year. (Round answer to the nearest cent.)

2. A bank deposit paying simple interest at the rate of 6%/year grew to a sum of $1300 in 8 months. Find the principal. (Round answer to the nearest cent.)

3. Determine the simple interest rate at which $2400 will grow to $2495 in 5 months. (Round answer to two decimal places.) Compounded Interest Formulas: Accumulated Amount

A = P (1 + i)n

r where i = m , n = mt,and

A = Accumulated amount at the end of n conversion periods. P =Principal. r = Nominal interest rate per year. m = Number of conversion periods per year. t =Term(numberofyears)

Calculator Functions

TVM Solver: We can use the TVM Solver on our calculator to solve problems involving com- pound interest. To access the Menu, you need to press APPS ,1,andthen1 again. 1 (Please note that if you have a plain TI-83, you need to press 2ND , x to access the Finance Menu). Below we define the inputs on the TVM Solver:

N = mt =the total number of compounding periods I%=interestrate(asapercentage) PV = (principal amount). Entered as a negative number if invested, a positive number if borrowed. PMT =paymentamount FV = (accummulated amount) P/Y = C/Y = m =the number of compounding periods per year.

Move the cursor to the value you are solving for and hit ALPHA and then ENTER.

4. Find the present value of $40, 000 due in 4 years at the given rate of interest. (Round answer to the nearest cent.) 10%/year compounded daily.

N = I%= PV = PMT = FV = P/Y = C/Y =

If the original amount placed in trust was $20, 000, how much will he receive if the money has earned interest at the rate of 9%/year compounded quarterly? (Round answer to the nearest cent.)

N = I%= PV = PMT = FV = P/Y = C/Y =

6. Five and a half years ago, Chris invested $10, 000 in a retirement fund that grew at the rate of 10.82%/year compounded quarterly. What is his account worth today? (Round answer to the nearest cent.)

N = I%= PV = PMT = FV = P/Y = C/Y =

7. Kim invested a sum of money 7 years ago in a savings account that has since paid interest at the rate of 8.5%/year compounded monthly. Her investment is now worth $36, 184.65. How much did she originally invest? (Round answer to the nearest cent.)

N = I%= PV = PMT = FV = P/Y = C/Y =

3 Fall 2017, Maya Johnson 8. Your rich uncle has just given you a high school graduation present of $1, 400, 000. The present, however, is in the form of an 18-year bond with an annual interest rate of 4.7% compounded annually. The bond says that it will be worth $1, 400, 000 in 18 years. What is this gift worth at the present time? (Round answer to the nearest cent.)

N = I%= PV = PMT = FV = P/Y = C/Y =
