B) $1,157.63
C) $1,200
D) $1,215.51
Answer: B) $1,157.63
Explanation: Future Value (FV) = PV × (1 + r)^n = $1,000 × (1 + 0.05)^3 = $1,000 × 1.157625 = $1,157.63
2. If you need $10,000 in 5 years and the interest rate is 6% compounded annually, what is the present value?
A) $7,472.58
B) $7,000.00
C) $7,945.95
D) $8,000.00
Answer: A) $7,472.58
Explanation: Present Value (PV) = FV / (1 + r)^n = $10,000 / (1.06)^5 ≈ $7,472.58
3. Which of the following best describes the Time Value of Money (TVM)?
A) Money loses value over time due to inflation.
B) A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
C) Investments always yield positive returns.
D) Money can be spent at any time without consequence.
Answer: B) A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
Explanation: TVM is the concept that money available now is worth more than the same amount in the future
due to its potential earning capacity.
4. What is the present value of an annuity that pays $500 annually for 4 years at an interest rate of 5%?
A) $1,783.00
B) $1,822.19
C) $1,851.32
D) $2,000.00
Answer: B) $1,822.19
Explanation: PV of annuity = PMT × [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r] = $500 × [(1 - (1.05)^-4) / 0.05] ≈ $1,822.19
PAGE 2
, 5. If you receive $2,000 one year from now and the discount rate is 4%, what is the present value?
A) $1,923.08
B) $1,950.00
C) $2,000.00
D) $2,080.00

Explanation: PV = FV / (1 + r) = $2,.04 ≈ $1,923.08
6. What is the future value of an ordinary annuity that pays $1,000 annually for 5 years at an interest rate of
3%?
A) $5,000.00
B) $5,309.27
C) $5,463.19
D) $5,796.00
Answer: B) $5,309.27
Explanation: FV of annuity = PMT × [( (1 + r)^n - 1 ) / r] = $1,000 × [(1.03)^5 -1)/0.03] ≈ $5,309.27
7. Which formula represents the calculation for continuous compounding?
A) FV = PV × (1 + r)^n
B) FV = PV × e^(rt)
C) FV = PV × (1 + r/n)^(nt)
D) FV = PV × (1 - r)^n
Answer: B) FV = PV × e^(rt)
Explanation: Continuous compounding uses the formula FV = PV × e^(rt), where e is the base of the natural
logarithm.
8. What is the effective annual rate (EAR) if the nominal rate is 12% compounded monthly?
A) 12.00%
B) 12.68%
C) 13.00%
