1.9 I = [(3,885,000 - 3,500,000)/3,500,000]*100% = 11% Per Year
1.10 (A) Amount Paid First Four Years = 900,000(0.12) = $108,000
(B) Final Payment = 900,000 + 900,000(0.12) = $1,008,000
1.11 I = (1125/12,500)*100 =
9% I = (6160/56,000)*100
= 11% I =
(7600/95,000)*100 = 8%
The $56,000 Investment Has The Highest Rate Of Return.
1.12 Interest On Loan = 23,800(0.10) =
$2,380 Default Insurance =
23,800(0.05) = $1190
Set-Up Fee = $300
Total Amount Paid = 2380 + 1190 + 300 =
$3870 Effective Interest Rate =
(3870/23,800)*100 = 16.3%
1.13 The Market Interest Rate Is Usually 3 – 4 % Above The Expected Inflation
Rate. Therefore, Market Rate Is In The Range 3 + 8 To 4 + 8 = 11 To 12%
