1.As per the details given in the Question-
Enter the stroke in the Financial calculator-
PMT =20
N= 52*4 = 208
Fv=-5250
CPT- I/Y = 0.2169
Interest rate weekly compounded is 0.2169%
Annual interest rate = {(1+rate)^period - 1} *100
Annual interest = {(1+ 0.002169)^52 - 1}*100
Annual interest = 11.93% or
if you have simple compounding then
Annual interest rate would be-
= 52*0.02169= 11.28%

2.Present value of $1700 today is $1700a. Present value of 10000 in 15 years at 7% interest rate isPV(7%,15,0,-10000)$3,624.46b. Present value of 31000 in 28 years at 7% interest rate isPV(7%,28,0,-31000)$4,662.47c. which offer should you chooseanswerC. Choose $31000 in 28 years because its present value is the highest.

Answer 1

Part 1

If coupon paid semiannually

Present Value = PVAF(Rate (6%/2=3%),n period(2X14=28)) + PVF(rate 3% ,28th )

PVAF =

PVF = Redemption amount X (1+R)^-n

= (1000 X 7%) X [ 1 - (1+ 3%)^-28 /3%] + 1000 X (1 + 3%)^-28

= 70 X[ 1 - 0.4370767532 /3%] + 1000 X 0.4370767532

= 70 X 18.76410823 + 437.08

= 1313.49 + 437.08

= $1750,57

Part 2

If coupon paid annually

= (1000 X 14%) X [ 1 - (1+ 6%)^-14 /6%] + 1000 X (1 + 6%)^-14

= 140 X[ 1 - 0.442301 /6%] + 1000 X 0.442301

= 140 X 9.295 + 442.30

= 1301.30 + 442.30

= $1743.60
