a. Find the FV of $1,000 invested to earn 10% after 5 years.
Inputs:

Formula:

PV =
i =
n =
FV = PV(1+I)^n =

1000
10%
5
$

1,610.51

b. Find the PV of $1,000 due in 5 years if the discount rate is 10%.

Inputs:

FV =
i =
n =
PV = FV/(1+I)^n =

Formula:

1000
10%

$

620.92

c. A security has a cost of $1,000 and will return $2,000 after 5 years. What rate of return does the
security provide?
Inputs:

PV =
FV =
i =
n =

-1000
2000
?
5

Wizard (Rate):

14.87%

Note: Use zero for Pmt since there are no periodic payments. Note that the PV is given a
negative sign because it is an outflow (cost to buy the security).
d. Suppose Californias population is 30 million people, and its population is expected to grow by 2%
per year. How long would it take for the population to double?
Inputs:

PV =
FV =
i = growth rate
n =

-30
60
2%
?

Wizard (NPER):

35.00

= Years to double.

e. Find the PV of an annuity that pays $1,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years if the interest rate
is 15%. Then find the FV of that same annuity.
Inputs:

PV: Use function wizard (PV)

Pmt
n
i

PV =

1,000

15%
$3,352.16

FV: Use function wizard (FV)

FV =

$6,742.38

f. How would the PV and FV of the annuity change if it were an annuity due rather than an ordinary
annuity?
For the PV, each payment would be received one period sooner, hence would be discounted back one
less year. This would make the PV larger. We can find the PV of the annuity due by finding the PV of
an ordinary annuity and then multiplying it by (1 + i).
PV annuity due =

$3,352.16

115%

-$3,854.98

115%

-$7,753.54

Exactly the same adjustment is made to find the FV of the annuity due.
FV annuity due =

$6,742.38

g. What would the FV and the PV for problems a and c be if the interest rate were 10% with
semiannual compounding rather than 10% with annual compounding?
Part a. FV with semiannual compounding:
Inputs:
PV =
i =
n =
Formula:
FV = PV(1+I)^n =

Orig. Inputs:
1000

($1,610.51)

New Inputs:
1000
5%
10
($1,628.89)

Part c. PV with semiannual compounding:

Inputs:

Orig. Inputs:
1000
10%
5
($620.92)

New Inputs:
1000
5%
10
($613.91)

Formula:

FV =
i =
n =
PV = FV/(1+I)^n =

h. Find the PV and the FV of an investment that makes the following end-of-year payments. The
interest rate is 8%.
Year
