Q:

Kramer borrowed $4000 from George at an interest rate of 7% compounded semiannually. The loan is to be repaid by three payments. The first payment, $1000, is due two years after the date of the loan. The second and third payments are due three and five years, respectively, after the initial loan. Calculate the amounts of the second and third payments if the second payment is to be twice the size of the third payment.

A) 1389 B) 1359
C) 1379 D) 1339.33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1339.33

Explanation:

Given:j=7% compounded semiannually making m=2 and i = j/m= 7%/2 = 3.5%
Let x represent the third payment. Then the second payment must be 2x.
PV1,PV2, andPV3 represent the present values of the first, second, and third payments.

Since the sum of the present values of all payments equals the original loan, then
PV1 + PV2  +PV3  =$4000 -------(1)

PV1   =FV/(1 + i)^n  =$1000/(1.035)^4=  $871.44

At first, we may be stumped as to how to proceed for
PV2 and PV3. Let’s think about the third payment of x dollars. We can compute the present value of just $1 from the x dollars

pv=1/(1.035)^10=0.7089188

PV2   =2x * 0.7089188 = 1.6270013x
PV3   =x * 0.7089188=0.7089188x
Now substitute these values into equation ➀ and solve for x.
$871.442 + 1.6270013x + 0.7089188x  =$4000

2.3359201x  =$3128.558

x=$1339.326
Kramer’s second payment will be 2($1339.326)  =$2678.65, and the third payment will be $1339.33

Q:

What is the difference between the compound interests on Rs. 5000 for 11⁄2 years at 4% per annum compounded yearly and half-yearly?

A) Rs. 1.80 B) Rs. 2.04
C) Rs. 3.18 D) Rs. 4.15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 2.04

Explanation:

Compound Interest for 1 12 years when interest is compounded yearly = Rs.(5304 - 5000)


Amount after 112 years when interest is compounded half-yearly 


Compound Interest for 1 12 years when interest is compounded half-yearly = Rs.(5306.04 - 5000)


Difference in the compound interests = (5306.04 - 5000) - (5304 - 5000)= 5306.04 - 5304 = Rs. 2.04
