Page 46 Problem 1 Answer

Given: A corporation has a market capitalization of $24,000,000,000 with 250M outstanding shares.

To calculate the price per share. We will have to divide the market capitalization with outstanding shares.

We have the market capitalization as $24,000,000,000

The number of outstanding shares is 250,000,000

Price per share= Market capitalization/ Number of outstanding shares

​=$24,000,000,000/250,000,000

=96

​The price per share is obtained to be $96.

Given: Qual Comm, Inc. instituted a4−for−1 split in November.  After the split, Elena owned 12,800 shares.

To find the number of shares owned before the split.

We will use the fact that 4−for−1split means the number of share after the split gets four times.

There is 4−for−1 split.

Hence the  number of share after the split gets four times.

Therefore the number of shares before the split will be:

Number of shares after the split /4

=12800/4

=3200​

Given: A major drugstore chain whose stocks are traded on the New York Stock Exchange was considering a 2-for-5 reverse split.

The pre-split market cap was1.71B

To find: The post-split market cap

Solution: The market cap pre and post split remains the same.

Splitting and reverse splitting only affects the number of shares and the value per share, it does not change the total market capital

A major drugstore chain whose stocks are traded on the New York Stock Exchange was considering a 2-for-5 reverse split.

If the pre-split market cap was1.71B, then the post-split market cap will also be1.71B

Given: Gabriella owned1,045shares of Hollow Corporation at a price of $62.79. The stock split3−for−2

To find: Financial effect of the split for Gabriella

Solution: We will find the following: Post split number of sharesPost split value per shareCash settlement for fractional shares

Post-split number of shares=a/b×Pre-split number of shares

=3/2×1045

=1567.5

Post-split share price=b/a×Pre-split share price

=2/3×62.79

=41.86

Fractional shares are not traded, so the corporation paid him the market value of 0.5 shares.

Fractional part×Market price=0.5×41.86=20.93

Gabriella received$20.93 in cash and 1567 shares worth$41.86 each.

Page 49 Problem 5 Answer

We have the statement: Perception is strong and sight is weak.

In strategy, it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.

The given statement implies that the perception of the value per stock is strong and might strongly influence any decision-making of an investor, while the investors don’t tend to notice the true reason of a stock split .

This is way it is important to see distant things as if they are close, such that an investor can see the true reason by stock splits and can take them into account for any decision-making.

A split does not have any meaningful benefit to the investor as the main reason of the split is the perception.

The perception of the value per stock is strong and might strongly influence any decision making of an investor.

Given:  In February, Robbins and Myers, Inc. executed a 2-for-1split. Janine had 470 shares before the split.

Each share was worth $69.48.To find the number of shares she hold after the split.

We will use the fact that 2 for one split means the number of share gets doubled.

Now we have that Janine held 470 shares before  the split.

It was 2 for one split therefore the number of shares get doubled.

Hence we have the number of shares as: 470×2=940

The number of shares that Janine held after the splits is 940.

Given: Vilma owns 750 shares of Aeropostale. On August 22, the corporation instituted a 3−for−2 stock split.

Before the split, each share was worth $34.89.To find the number of shares that Vilma hold after the split.

We will use the fact that three for two stock split means we will have to multiply the shares with 3/2.

Now we know that there is 3−for−2 share split.

Before the split the number of shares were 750.

Hence after the split it will be multiplies by 3/2 that is:3/2×750=1125

The number of shares that Vilma hold after the split is 1125.

At the time, the corporation had 35,608,800 shares outstanding and the pre-split price per share was $0.41

.To find the number of shares that were outstanding after the split.

We will use the fact that one for ten stock split means we will have to multiply the shares with 1/10

Now we know that there is1−for−10 share split.

Before the split the number of shares were 35,608,800 shares Hence after the split it will be multiplies by1/10

Hence we get: 1/10×35608800=3,560,880

The number of shares that were outstanding after the split were 3,560,880.

Given: Versant Corporation executed a 1−for−10 reverse split on August 22.

At the time, the corporation had 35,608,800 shares outstanding and the pre-split price per share was $0.41.

To show that this split was a monetary non-event for the corporation.

We will have to show that the  Total worth before split=Total worth after split

Now we know that before the split there were35,608,800 shares worth $0.41.

Hence the total worth before the split was: 35608800×0.41=$14,599,608

After the split there were3,560,880 shares worth $4.10.

Hence  the total worth after the split was: 3560880×4.10= $14,599,608

Therefore Total worth before split=Total worth after split

We have shown that the split was a monetary non-event for the corporation.

Page 50 Exercise 4 Answer

Given: Jon noticed that most traditional splits are in the form of x−for−1

He says that in those cases, all you need do is multiply the number of shares held by x

and divide the price per share by x to get the post-split numbers.

To verify Jon’s method works to determine the post-split price and shares outstanding for Hansen Natural Corporation which executed a 4−for−1 split on July 10 with 22,676,800 outstanding shares and a market price of $203.80 per share before the split.

We will have to find the number of shares after the split.

Now we have four for one split.

This implies that the number of shares will become four times.

Now before the split there were 22,676,800 shares.

Hence after the split there will be: 22,676,800×4=90,707,200 shares Now the price will get one fourth of the before the split.

Hence the price per share after the split will be:

1/4×203.80=$50.95

Hence the number of shares were multiplied by x=4

whereas the price was divided by it after the split.

We have verified that Jon’s method works to determine the post-split price and shares outstanding for Hansen Natural Corporation which executed a 4−for−1 split on July 10 with 22,676,800 outstanding shares and a market price of $203.80 per share before the split.

Page 50 Exercise 8 Answer

Given: Monarch Financial Holdings, Inc. executed a 6−for−5 traditional split on October 5.

Before the split there were approximately 4,800,000 shares outstanding, each at a share price of $18.00.

To determine the post-split share price and the number of shares.We will use the worth of each share.

Now we know that there is6−for−5 share split.

Before the split the number of shares were 4,800,000 shares Hence after the split it will be multiplies by 6/5 Hence we get: 6/5×4800000=5,760,000

There is a6−for−5  split share.Hence the price will get 5/6  the price before the split.

Now each share was originally$18.00

Hence after the split it will be : 5/6×18=$15.00

The post-split share price is $15.00 The number of shares outstanding is 5,760,000.

Page 50 Exercise 9 Answer

Given: Monarch Financial Holdings, Inc. executed a 6−for−5 traditional split on October 5.

Before the split there were approximately 4,800,000 shares outstanding, each at a share price of $18.00.To compare the results from part a. with that obtained by using Jon’s method.

Jon’s method says that 6−for−5 is the same as 1.2−for−1. We will find the answer using 1.2-for-1 and then compare.

Now we know that there is1.2−for−1 split Before the split the number of shares were 4,800,000 shares

Hence after the split it will be multiplies by1.2

Hence we get:

1.2×4800000=5,760,000

There is a 1.2−for−1 split. Hence the price will get divided by 1.2

Now  each share was originally$18.00

Hence after the split it will be: 18/1.2=15.00

Hence we get the same answers.

We obtain the same answers by using both the methods of that in part a and by John’s method.

Page 50 Exercise 10 Answer

Given: On June 19  California Pizza Kitchen, Inc. instituted a 3−for−2 split.

At that time Krista owned 205 shares of that stock. The price per share was $33.99.

After the split, Krista received a check for a fractional part of a share.To find the amount of the check.We will use the fact that 3−for−2

split means we will have to multiply two third for the original price.

Now we know that there is3−for−2 share split.

Before the split the number of shares were205 Hence after the split it will be multiplies by 3/2

Hence we get 3/2×205=307shares. there is 3 -for-2-share split

Hence the price will get two third of the original price Hence after the split it will be:2/3×33.99=22.66

Now the fractional part .5 is exchanged for the monetary.

Hence the amount of the check was $11.33.

Krista received a check of $11.33.

We will get finance charge when we subtract purchase price from the total amount paid.

Since, we know that value of total amount of monthly payment will be a product of number of months along with monthly payment.

So, we get the value as

​=30×48.25

=1447.50

​Also, we know that total money will be given by the sum of total monthly payment along with down payment. So, the total amount will be

​=1447.50+150

=1597.50

Since, we know that finance charge, will be found by subtracting purchase price from the total amount paid.

So, we will get the value as​

=1597.50−1250

=347.50

​Thus, we can say that $347.50 is the finance charge when Gary is buying a computer on the installment plan.

Given: Mazzeo’s Appliance Store requires a down payment of 1/3 and Norton’s Depot requires a 30% down payment.

To find: Which store’s down payment rate is lower.We will compare the values to get the result.

Let us take the price of the product as x.

When Mazzeo’s Appliance Store give us the value for down payment as x/3=0.33x.

Now, for the Norton’s Depot, we get the down-payment as 30%x=0.3x.

Thus, we can say that Norton’s Depot store’s down payment rate is lower.

We are given : Purchase price=m dollars

Down payment rate​=20%

=20/100

=0.20.

Monthly payment=x dollars Number of months =24.

We have to express the finance charge algebraically.

In the question, first we will find the down payment .

Then, find the total amount of monthly payments .

Calculate the total cost and then, find the finance charge.

Firstly, we will find the down payment.

As, down payment is the product of the down payment rate and the purchase price.

Therefore,Down payment=Down payment rate×purchase price

Down payment=0.20×m

Down payment=0.20m .

​Now, we will find the total amount of monthly payments .

As, the total amount of monthly payments is the product of the number of months and the monthly payment.

Therefore,Total amount of monthly payments=Number of months×Monthly payment

Total amount of monthly payments=24×x

Total amount of monthly payments=24x.​

We will find the total cost .

As, the total cost is the sum of the down payment and the total amount of monthly payments .

Therefore,Total cost=Down payment+Total amount of monthly payments

Total cost=0.20m+24x.

Now, we will find the finance charge .

As, the finance charge is the difference between the total cost and the purchase price .

Therefore,Finance charge=Total cost−Purchase price

Finance charge=0.20m+24x−(m)

Finance charge=24x+0.20−1

Finance charge=24x+(0.20−1)m

Finance charge=24x−0.8 .

The finance charge is 24x-0.80.

As, down payment is the product of the down payment rate and the purchase price.

Therefore,

(1)Down payment=1200×0.20

Down payment=$240 .

(2)Down payment=1750×0.10

Down payment=$175 .​

(3)Down payment=1340×0.15

Down payment=$201.

(4)Down payment=980×0.10

Down payment=$98 .​

The time in months is the time in years multiples by 12 , as there are 12months in a year.

Therefore, (5)Time in months = Time in years ×12

Time in months =1 ×12

Time in months =12.​

(6)Time in months =2×12

Time in months =24 .

(7)Time in months=1.5×12

Time in months=18 .​

(8)Time in months =0.5×12

Time in months =6.​

Now, we will find the total amount of monthly payments.

(9)Total amount of monthly payments=12×97.01

Total amount of monthly payments=$1164.12​

(10)Total amount of monthly payments=24×71.12

​(11)Total amount of monthly payments =18×77.23

Total amount of monthly payments =$1390.14

​(12)Total amount of monthly payments =6×165.51

Total amount of monthly payments =$993.06 .​

Now, we will find the finance charge .

Finance charge = Total cost − Purchase price

Finance charge= Total amount of monthly payments + Down payment − Purchase price .

​(13)Finance charge =1164.12+240−1200

Finance charge =$204.12

​(14)Finance charge =1706.88+175−1750

Finance charge =$131.88

​(15)Finance charge =1390.14+201−1340

We are given :

Fee charged for layaway plan=$109 in the previous exercise.

We have to determine the difference between the layaway plan in the previous exercise and the deferred payment plan.

The layaway price in the prior exercise was$109, however no fee was levied in this exercise’s deferred payment plan.

Furthermore, with a layaway plan, the buyer receives the product once it has been paid in full, whereas with a deferred payment plan, the consumer receives the merchandise at the time of purchase (not after it has been completely paid).

The difference between the layaway plan in and the deferred payment plan is that there is no fee in the deferred payment plan, while the layaway plan contains a fee.

Page 179 Exercise 11 Answer

We are given :

Purchase price=x dollars

Number of months=23.

In this case, we will not consider the last month as it will have a different payment amount .

We have to express the amount of the last payment algebraically.

We will find the total amount of monthly payments .

As, the total amount of monthly payments is the product of the number of months and the monthly payment.

Therefore,Total amount of monthly payments =23×m

Total amount of monthly payments =23m .

​Now, we will find the total cost .

As, the total cost is the sum of the down payment and the total amount of monthly payments .

Therefore,Total cost​=23m+d .

​The remaining payment is then the difference between the purchase price and the total cost and, there is no interest in this case .

Therefore, only the remaining amount of the purchase price should still have to be paid .

Therefore,Remaining amount​=x−(23m+d)

​Remaining amount​=x−23m−d .​

​The amount of the last payment is x−23m−d dollars .

We are given: The inequalities give information on the credit scores.

Let x represent your credit score.

x>700,  your credit score is excellent.

680<x<700, your credit score is good.

620<x<680, your credit score should be watched carefully.

580<x<620,  your credit score is low.

x<580, your credit score is poor.

If Mary Ann’s credit score is low, but she receives 40 points for paying off some delinquent debts, we have to explain whether it is possible that her credit rating is now good.

If Mary’s credit score is low, it may be as high as 619.

So her new credit score will be619+40=659 once we acquire40

points. It should be closely monitored.

Prepare questions about FDIC insurance limits and beneficiaries.

Ask for any brochures they offer about trust accounts.

Prepare a report or a poster on trust accounts to present to the class.

FDIC or Federal deposit insurance corporation which gives insurance to the saving account of the people in U.S. Some questions about FDIC insurance limits and beneficiaries –

Q 1) Where can I get to know about insurance rules and limits? Ans- Using electronic deposit insurance estimator.

Q 2) What is the limit of FDIC beneficiaries? Ans- 250000 is the limit up to which you and your family in total can have deposits in your account.

Q 3) what type of accounts are eligible for FDIC insurance?

Trust accounts report Trust account is a savings account deposited in the name of a trustee who controls it during his lifetime, after which the balance is payable to a pre-nominated beneficiary There are two types of Trust Accounts revocable and irrevocable, the extent of FDIC insurance depends on which out of these 2, our account is.

A revocable trust is that, which assigns beneficiaries, receiving the funds of trust after the death of the owner.

But the trust can also be terminated or there can be a change of terms by the owner.

A revocable trust may become an irrevocable trust once the owner dies because effectively there is no longer an option to cancel or change the trust. In a revocable trust, the owner is considered the depositor and the account are only eligible for 250,000 of FDIC insurance coverage.

However, if a bank fails after a trust owner has died but before the trust has been paid out, the beneficiaries are considered the depositors and each is entitled to 250,000 in coverage.

Cengage Financial Algebra 1st Edition Chapter 3 Assessment Banking Services

In an irrevocable trust, the beneficiaries are considered to be the depositors even before the owner dies, as long as there are no conditions the beneficiaries have to meet to remain eligible for trust proceeds.

There are conditions the beneficiary has to meet in order to be eligible for trust proceeds.

Hence the answer is  POD− Payable on death, ITF − In trust for, ATF = As Trustee For

we have to Research how experts memorize long sequences of digits.

Visit a few local businesses to see if they would be willing to donate a prize for the contest. Ask the school newspaper to cover the contest.

Emcee the contest in class.

The decimal representation of the number e is:

2.718281828459045235360287471352662497757247093699959574966….

The decimal representative of e contains no repeating pattern (as $e$ is an irrational number).

There are many different tips on how to memorize a long sequence of digits. A few of these tips could be:

Create associations (such as a birthday, anniversary, number of jersey of favorite football player, etc.)

Break the long sequence into smaller sequences

Check for patterns

When learning the number, speak the words out at loud (which helps you remember better).

Repetition: often repeat the memorized number with some time frame left in between different repetitions (such as an hour)

Visualize the shape of the digits on a keypad

Convert the numbers to words/images

Hence the answer could vary

To find: Some employers allow employees to have money deducted from their accounts and automatically placed into a savings account.

Interview three adults working in different professions.

Ask them about employer-sponsored savings plans. Prepare a report on the findings.

A employer-sponsored savings plan is used by employees who elect to save a portion of their paycheck in an investment account.

This type of plan is set up by the employers, who often sponsor the plan as well and these plans are often based around retirement.

There are annual contribution limits, but also tax benefits accompanying this type of plan.

It could be possible to withdraw funds early (with some additional fees) or to bottom against your account balance.

The employees are fully responsible in what their money is invested in and the employees can take their employer-sponsored savings plan with them when they change work (change their employer).

Hence the answer could vary

Page 167 Problem 8 Answer

To find:  Visit a local bank. Get brochures they offer about their services. If the brochures are two-sided, take two of each so you can cut them out and paste them onto a poster board.

Pick several services to highlight. Cut out the portions of the brochures that explain each service.

Give each service an original, short title, and print out your title.

Organize the titles and descriptions of the banking services onto a poster board.

The answers to this questions will vary very strongly.

You will need to pick up brochures at your local bank about their services.

Per service, you will need to pick a title. However, this could be very easy as the brochures tend to use titles to separate the different (most important) services.

If a title has not been specified, then either use the name of the service as title or use a (very) short description of the service.

Organize the titles in some manner. For example, organize the titles from cheapest to most-expensive service.

Hence the answer could vary

Page 167 Problem 9 Answer

To find: The Rule of 72 is a method for quickly estimating how many years it will take principal to double, assuming the interest was compounded.

Go to the library and/or use the Internet to research the Rule of 72 beyond what was presented in Lesson 3-7.

Prepare some examples to illustrate the rule. Discuss the history and the use of the rule. Display your research on a poster board.

The Rule of 72 is used to determine the time it takes for an investment to double.

To use the rule of 72 , you require the knowledge of the annual rate of return (or annual interest rate).

The rule of 72 states that the product of the rate of return and the number of years (time) should be roughly equal to 72 .

On equivalently, the time it takes to double your investment is 72 divided by the annual interest rate

Although, most people attribute the rule of 72 to Albert Einstein.

The Rule of 72 is used to determine the time it takes for an investment to double.

Page 168 Problem 11 Answer

Given: The graph showing the catching of counterfeit bills in the U.S. is as follows:

Financial Algebra, 1st Edition, Chapter 3 Banking Services 11

To find: If the pattern of catching counterfeit bills before and after circulation follows the same pattern of increases and decreases.

Solution: In the year2000 and2005, the dollars found before and after circulation both increased from the year before but at a different rate.

In the year2001 and 2004, compared to their respective previous years the dollars found after circulation increased but dollars found before circulation decreased the year 2002, both the dollars found before and after circulation decreased but at a different rate.

Similarly, in the year2003, dollars found after circulation decreased whereas dollars found before circulation increased.

Hence we can see that the pattern of catching counterfeit bills before and after circulation do not follow the same pattern of increases and decreases

On examining the graph drawn in the previous part of the question we can observe that the graph showing the catching of counterfeit bills before and after they enter circulation are not similar nor are they completely opposite.

It is a mixture of increases and decreases and both the graph does not show any relation between them.

Thus, the pattern of catching counterfeit bills before and after circulation does not follow the same pattern of increases and decreases.

Page 164 Problem 3 Answer

To find: Write the formula to find the present value of an x-dollar balance that is reached by periodic investments made semiannually for y years at an interest rate of r.

PV=X×(1−1

(1+(r/2))yx2)/(r/2)

Periodic payment (PMT) = X

Time (n) =yx2

Interest rate (r) =r/2

PV=PMT×(1−1/(1+r)/n)/r

=X×(1−1(1+(r/2))yx2)/(r/2) on simplifying

=X⋅(1−1(1+(r/2))2y)/r/2

Hence the present value is X⋅(1−1(1+(r/2))/2y)/r/2

Page 165 Problem 4 Answer

To find: How might those words apply to what has been outlined in this lesson?

In order to start setting financial goals, you need to take into account what you can currently afford to save (thus determine how much money you have left over after you have paid all bills and bought all necessary items such as food and clothes).

This is necessary, because else you will start making debts to pay for your food or bills, which will not aid your overall financial situation.

Moreover, it is also useful to look ahead at the future value savings, such that you know what you will earn from these future value savings in the future and also such that you can determine what you will do with this money in the future.

Hence the answer is In order to start setting financial goals, you need to take into account what you can currently afford to save.

Page 157 Problem 1 Answer

Given: Periodic deposit amount(P)=$5000

Annual interest rate expressed as a decimal(r)=0.045

Number of times interest is compounded annually(n)=1

To find: The account balance(B) if the length of investment in years(t) is 21 years

Solution: We will find the account balance using the formula for future value:

B=P((1+r/n)nt−1)/r/n

We will substitute the values in the formula to find the account balance

B=P((1+r/n)nt−1)/r/n

=5000((1+0.045/1)(1)(21)−1)/0.045/1

=5000((1.045)21−1)/0.045

≈168915.68

The account balance will be$168,915.68 if Rich and Laura decide to hold off retirement for an extra year.

Page 158 Problem 2 Answer

Given: From Example1, Example2 and check your understanding question after example1

we have the following details regarding periodic investment by Rich and Laura :

Total amount deposited in 21

Cengage Financial Algebra 1st Edition Chapter 3 Exercise 3.7 Banking Services

years=5000×21=$105,000

Balance in the account after 21 years=$168,915.68

Interest they will earn after 20 years=$56,857.11

To find: How much more interest would Rich and Laura earn by retiring after 21 years?

Solution: We will first find the interest earned if they retire after 21 Years Then we will compare it with the interest earned if they retire after 20 years.

We will first find the interest Rich and Laura will earn if they retire after 21 year.

Interest= Account balance− amount deposited

=168,915.68−105,000

=$63,915.68

The interest they will earn if they retire after 20 years is $56,857.11. So they will earn $7058.57 more in interest.

Rich and Laura would earn$7058.57 interest more by retiring after 21 years.

Page 158 Problem 3 Answer

Given: Linda and Rob open an online savings account that has a 3.6% annual interest rate compounded monthly.

If they deposit $1,200 every month, $173,022.87  will be in the account after 10 years

To find: If opening an account at a higher interest rate for fewer years would have assured Linda and Rob at least the same final balance

Solution: We will calculate the future value using the formula:

B=P((1+r/n)nt−1)/r/n

We can see from the formula that the value of the deposit will increase if the rate of interest is higher.

So, if the rate of interest is higher we will achieve the amount they will receive at the current interest rate in fewer years.

Thus, opening an account at a higher interest rate for fewer years would give Linda and Rob at least the same final balance.

Yes, opening an account at a higher interest rate for fewer years would have assured Linda and Rob at least the same final balance.

Page 158 Problem 4 Answer

Given Example 1

To do: During the computation of the numerator, is the 1 being subtracted from the 20. Explain your reasoning

Firstly we have the solution as

B=5,000((1+0.045/1)1(20)−1)/0.045/1

where 1 is subtracted from the before computation but not the exponent means that (1+0.045/1)1(20) is computed first and then one is subtracted from the value not from 20

Therefore, No, using the order of operations (1+0.045/1)1(20) is computed first and then 1 is subtracted from the value not from 20

Page 160 Exercise 5 Answer

To find: Suppose that you invest $2,000 at a 1% annual interest rate.

Use your calculator to input different values for t in the compound interest formula.

What whole number value of t will yield an amount closest to twice the initial deposit?

B=P(1+r/n)n×t

40000=20000(1+0.06/1)1×t

40000=20000(1.06)t

2=(1.06)t

ln2=ln(1.06)t

ln2=tln(1.06)

ln2/ln1.06=t

​Evaluate: t=ln2/ln1.01≈70

Thus we note that the amount will be twice the initial deposit after roughly 70 years.

Hence the answer is 70 years

Page 160 Exercise 6 Answer

To find: Suppose that you invest $4,000 at a 2% annual interest rate.

Use your calculator to input different values for t in the compound interest formula.

What whole number value of t will yield an amount closest to twice the initial deposit?

B=P(1+r/n)n×t

40000=20000(1+0.06/1)1×t

40000=20000(1.06)t

2=(1.06)t

ln2=ln(1.06)t

ln2=tln(1.06)

ln2/ln1.06=t

​Evaluate: t=ln2/ln1.02≈35

Thus we note that the amount will be twice the initial deposit after roughly 35 years.

Page 160 Exercise 7 Answer

To find; Suppose that you invest $20,000 at a 6% annual interest rate.

Use your calculator to input different values for t in the compound interest formula.

What whole number value of t will yield an amount closest to twice the initial deposit?

B=P(1+r/n)n×t

40000=20000(1+0.06/1)1×t

40000=20000(1.06)t

2=(1.06)t

ln2=ln(1.06)t

ln2=tln(1.06)

ln2/ln1.06=t

​Evaluate: t=ln2/ln1.06≈12

Thus we note that the amount will be twice the initial deposit after roughly 12 years.

Hence we note that the amount will be twice the initial deposit after roughly 12 years.

Page 160 Exercise 8 Answer

To find: Albert Einstein noticed a very interesting pattern when an initial deposit doubled.

In each of the three examples above, multiply the value of t that you determined times the percentage amount.

For example, in a. multiply t by 1. What do you notice?

First example of part (a)

Result part (a):

t=70

r=1%

​We need to multiply the value of t by the percentage amount of r.

t×r=70×1=70

Second example of part (b)

Result part (b):

t=35

r=2%

We need to multiply the value of t by the percentage amount of r.

t×r=35×2=70

Third example of part (c)

Result part (c):

t=12

r=6%

​We need to multiply the value of t by the percentage amount of r.

t×r=12×6=72

We notice that the product in all three examples is equal to 70 or 72 , thus the product is always close to 72 .

Hence We notice that the product in all three examples is equal to 70 or 72 , thus the product is always close to 72 .

Page 160 Exercise 9 Answer

To find: Einstein called this the Rule of 72 because for any initial deposit and for any interest percentage, 72 (percentage) will give you the approximate number of years it will take for the initial deposit to double in value.

Einstein also said that “If people really understood the Rule of 72 they would never put their money in banks.”

Suppose that a 10-year-old has $500 to invest.

She puts it in her savings account that has a 1.75% annual interest rate.

How old will she be when the money doubles?

Given:r= Interest rate =1.75%

By Einstein’s rule of 72 , we know that the product of the time $t$ and the interest rate percentage $r$ needs to be equal to 72 when we double the money.

t×r=72

In this case: r=1.75

t×1.75=72

Divide each side by 1.75:

t=72

1.75

≈41

This then means that the money doubles in roughly 41 years.

Since she is currently 10 years old, the money will double when she is roughly 10+41=51 years.

Hence the answer is 51 years old

Page 147 Problem 3 Answer

Given; Barbara deposits 3,000 in a one-year CD at 4.1 % interest, compounded daily.

To find: What is the APY to the nearest hundredth of a percent?

The APY using the compound interest formula and the simple interest formula.

​B=p(1+r/n)nt

B=3,000(1+0.041/365)365×1

B=3125

I=3125−2,000

=125

I=prt

=I/pt

=125/3,000×1

=0.041%

​r= 4.1 %

The annual percentage yield is 4.10 %

APY can also be found by using the formula APY (1+r/n)n−1

APY=(1+r/n)n−1

APY=(1+0.041/365)365−1

APY≈0.041=4.1%

​The annual percentage yield is 4.1 %, which is the same as the previous answer

Hence The APY to the nearest hundredth of a percent is found to be 4.10 %

Given; One is an account that pays 2.78 % compounded daily. The other account pays 3.25 % compounded quarterly.

To find: Would either of these accounts provide Nancy with a better return than her current account? If so, which account?

To find which account earns the most money compute the ratio of A/P for each account then compare them.

For the second account: r=2.78% and the compound rate is continuous, therefore:

A/P=e2.78%≈1.028

For the Second account:r=3.25% and n=4  therefore:A/P

=(1+3.25%/4)4 ≈1.032

1.032>1.028

The second account earns more money because its ratio of Future Value to Initial Value higher than the other account.

Hence we conclude that The second account earns more money because its ratio of Future Value to Initial Value higher than the other account.

Given ; Consider an amount x deposited into a CD at 2.4 %  interest compounded daily, and the same amount deposited into a CD at the same rate that compounds monthly.

To find : Explain why, after 1 year, the balance on a CD that compounds daily is greater than the CD that compounded monthly.

Find the APY using the compound interest formula and the simple interest formula.

​B=p(1+r/n)nt

B=x(1+0.024/365)365×1

Subtract the principal from the new balance.

I = x(1+0.024/365)365×1

=x(1+0.024/365)365×1

−x/x×1

APY can also be found by using the formula APY=(1+r/n)n−1  is the interest rate and n is the number of times interest is compounded per year.

1-Year CD with both of them at the same 2.4 % APR interest rate, and compare how much interest you have at the end of the year. Both credit interest monthly.

Since MoBank compounds monthly, you are getting 2.4 5/12 =0.002 every month.

so it much less that the daily compounded interest Since MoBank compounds monthly, we are getting 2.4 % /12= 0.002 every month.

so it much less that the daily compounded interest

Page 148 Problem 7 Answer

According to question,

The words imply that if you want to earn a lot of money through interest, then you need to start with a lot of money.

As we know that, This means that you will not get rich from bank interest alone, because the interest rates are often quite small and you can earn much more from other business investments.

However, business investments contain a lot more risk compared to interest.

Hence, The required answer is:

You will not get rich from bank interest alone .

Given: An elite private college receives large donations from successful alumni.

The account that holds these donations has $955,000,000 currently.

Find: How much would the account earn in one year at 5.33% if the interest was compounded daily.

According to question,

B=p(1+r/n)nt

=955,000,000(1+0.0533/365)365×1

≈1,007,278,530.91

​Then,The interest is the difference between the balance and the principle:

I=B−p

=1,007,278,530.91−955,000,000

=52,278,530.91

​Hence, The required answer is: $52,278,530.91

Page 149 Exercise 17 Answer

Given: An elite private college receives large donations from successful alumni. The account that holds these donations has $955,000,000 currently.

Find: How much

According to question,

Result of first part is:$50,901,500 (simple interest)

Result of second part:$52,278,530.91 (compounded daily)

The differences of the interests:

$52,278,530.91−$50,901,500=$1,377,030.91

Hence, As we note that the compounded daily earns$1,377,030.91 more than the simple interest.

Hence,$1,377,030.91 more interest is earned by compounded daily as compared to simple interest.

Page 149 Exercise 18 Answer

Given: An elite private college receives large donations from successful alumni.

The account that holds these donations has $955,000,000 currently.

Find: If the money is used to pay full scholarships, and the price of tuition is $61,000 per year to attend, how many more students can receive full four-year scholarships if the interest was compounded daily rather than using simple interest.

According to question,Result of first part is:$50,901,500 (simple interest)

Result of second part is:$52,278,530.91 (compounded daily)

The differences of the interests:

$52,278,530.91−$50,901,500=$1,377,030.91

Hence, As we have $1,377,030.91 more when using daily compounding.

Then according to question,Every student receives a tuition of $61,000per year, which is thus$61,000×4=$244,000 per full four-year scholarship.

Then, The number of additional students that can then receive a full four-year scholarship are then the additional interest divided by$244,000.

$1,377,030.91

$244,000≈5.6436≈5

Therefore, 5 more students can receive a full four-year scholarship.

Hence,5 more students can receive a full four-year scholarship.

It is given: I believe non-dividend stocks aren’t much more than baseball cards.

They are worth what you can convince someone to pay for them.

The analogy of non-dividend stocks and baseball cards represents the similarity of two things in which value is determined by the demand, so they can be worthless in one moment and in another very expensive.

If we talk in terms of baseball cards, their value might vary a lot.

The card of some barely known baseball player is worth very little. It has only its intrinsic value.

However, if he becomes very famous, the value of the card increases drastically.

Some card-lovers are ready to pay huge amounts just to get that particular card.

And if people buy cards for their pleasure, that is completely fine.

But, if some person buys the card, or the stock share, with the hope to sell later for a higher price, we can notice the similarity.

Gaining profit from both the investments is dependent on the random value that the buyers will decide to give.

Given: Mike owned 3000 shares of Merck Corporation and received a quarterly dividend check for $1140.

To find the annual dividend for one share of Merck.

We will use the formula: Annual divided per share = Income dividend annually ÷ Number of shares

Now we have the number of shares as 3000

Income dividend quarterly is $1,140

Therefore we get;​

Income Dividend annually =4× Income Dividend quarterly

​=4×$1,140

=$4560

and hence Annual divided per share = Income dividend annually ÷ Number of shares

​=$4560÷3000

=$1.52

The annual dividend for one share of Merck was $1.52.

It is given that :

Number of shares:500

Dividend per share annually:$0.35

Current price of per share:$33.86.

We have to find the quarterly dividend for500 shares.

We will use the fact that there are four quarters in a year, so the dividend per share annually is annually dividend per share divided by 4.

Firstly, we will find the dividend per share quarterly.

Dividend per share quarterly = Dividend per share annually /4

Dividend per share quarterly=$0.35/4

Dividend per share quarterly=$0.0875.

Now, we will find the quarterly dividend.​​

Income dividends quarterly = Number of shares × Dividend per share quarterly​

Income dividends quarterly =500×0.0875

Income dividends quarterly =43.75.​​

We get $43.75.

The quarterly dividend for 500 shares was$43.75.

Page 55 Problem 11 Answer

It is given that : Number of shares:500

Dividend per share annually:$0.35

Current price of per share:$33.86.

We have to express yield as a fraction.

As, the yield is the annual divided per share divided by the current price of one share.

Therefore, Yield= Annual dividend per share

Current price of one share

Yield=0.35/33.86

Yield=35/3386.​

We get the yield as a fraction:=35/3386.

Page 55 Problem 12 Answer

Number of shares:500

Dividend per share annually:$0.35

Current price of per share:$33.86.

We have to find the yield to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Therefore, Yield= Annual dividend per share

Current price of one share

Yield=0.35/33.86

Yield=35/3386

Yield≈0.010

Yield=1.0% .​

The yield to the nearest tenth of a percent is 1.0%.

We are given : A spreadsheet in which price per share and annual dividend are given.

The Black Oyster Corporation is going out of business. All of the corporate assets are being sold.

The money raised will be split by the stockholders.

We have to find among stockholders, the common or preferred, who receive money first.

Among the common and preferred stockholders, the preferred stockholders will receive money first, as the name “preferred” indicates that they will be preferred first than any common stockholder.

Also, preferred stockholders receive their dividends before the common stockholders and they also receive a set amount of dividends, which doesn’t vary too often, while the common stockholders will only receive dividends when the board of directions issues the dividends.

Among stockholders, the common or preferred, money will be received first by the preferred stockholders.

3.8% was the yield at Wednesday’s close .

Page 56 Exercise 7 Answer

We are given : Annual dividend per share=$1.60

Friday closing=$44

Friday’s net change=$0.35.

By looking at the yields for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, we get that they are decreasing .

We have to explain why this decrease is not “bad news” to the investor who owns stock in Revreg.

The yield falls because of rising share prices, not because of falling dividends per share. Since

the dividend level has not changed, this is not “bad news” for the investor who owns shares in Revreg.

You will receive the same dividend amount regardless of the drop in performance.

And, another reason could be that the stock is a growth stock as its prices rise sharply every day.

Remember, growth stocks are bought for capital gains rather than dividends- buy low and sell high.

The decrease is not “bad news” to the investor who owns stock in Revreg because the amount of dividends did not actually decrease and there is possibly a growth stock .

We will find the Monday closing .

Monday closing = Tuesday closing − net change

Monday closing =61.85−(−1.96)

Monday closing =61.85+1.96

Monday closing =$63.81.​

Now, we will find the Monday’s yield.

yield on monday = dividend on monday price on monday

yield on monday=2/63.81

yield on monday=0.0313

yield on monday=3.13%

yield on monday=3.1% .

​Monday’s yield is3.1% .

Page 56 Exercise 13 Answer

We are given : Annual dividend per share=$2

Wednesday closing=$61

Net change on Wednesday=−0.85 .

By looking at the yields for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we get that they are increasing.

We have explain this increase is not “good news” to the investor who owns stock in

The yield is increasing and the reason is the price decrease of the stock, not because the dividends are increasing.

As the dividends are not increasing, the yield increase is not necessarily ‘good news’ to the investor who owns Zeescore stock because he or she will still receive the same amount of dividends despite the increase in yield.

The increase is not “good news” to the investor who owns stock in Zeescore because there is no increase in the amount of dividends.

We are given: Cost of shares=$1000

Annual Interest​=6.34 %

=0.0634

Price of stock=$46

Annual dividend=$2

Time( in years)=14 years.

We have to determine which is higher, the yield on the stock or the interest rate on the bond.

Firstly, we will find the yield and then the interest.

We will find the yield.

yield =dividend price of stock

yield=2/46

yield=0.04347

yield=4.347% .

Given: Principal amount(P)dollars

Rate of interest(R) compounded annually. i.e.

Time(T) year

To find: Amount of interest

Solution: Interest

PRT dollars will earn dollars in one year at a rate of compounded annually

Page 139 Problem 2 Answer

Given: p=4000

r=5% compounded semi-annually

=0.05

To find: Balance after one year

Solution: Accounts that pay interest semiannually have the interest added on twice each year (every six months).

We will first find the balance after six monthsThen calculate interest on that amount

For the first six months,

t=6 months  =0.5 years

I=PRT

=4000×0.05×0.5

=100

Now we will add the interest to the principal,

New principal=4000+100

=$4,100

Now we will compute interest for the next six months

I=PRT

=4100×0.05×0.5

=102.5

Now, we will add the interest to find the balance after one year

Balance after one year=4100+102.5

=4,202.5

Alex deposits$4,000 in a savings account that pays 5% interest compounded semiannually, then the balance after one year will be$4,202.5

Page 139 Problem 3 Answer

Given: p=$3000

r=4% compounded quarterly i.e.0.04

To find: Earnings in six months

Solution: Interest will be calculated every three monthsWe will find interest for the period of first three months and then again for the next three months

For the first three months

I=prt

=3000×0.04×0.25     [Convert 3 months in years]

=30

New principal=3000+30

=$3030

For the next three months

I=prt

=3030×0.04×0.25

=30.3

Total Interest=30+30.3

=$60.3

For the next three months

I=prt

=3030×0.04×0.25

=30.3

Total Interest=30+30.3

=$60.3

$3,000 earns$60.3 in six months at an interest rate of 4% compounded quarterly

Page 139 Problem 4 Answer

Given;  x dollars earn in one day at an interest rate of 5 % compounded daily

To find; Express the answer algebraically.

Accounts that pay interest daily earn interest every day.There are 365 days in a year.

r=5

r=0.05

​t=1 day

t=1 day =1/365 years

simple interest I=prt

I=1,000×0.05×1/365

≈0.13 interest to the principal. 1,000+0.13=1,000.13

The first day’s interest is approximately 13 cents, so the new balance is 1,000.13.

This larger principal is used to compute the next day’s interest

Hence we conclude that The first day’s interest is approximately 13 cents, so the new balance is 1,000.13.

This larger principal is used to compute the next day’s interest

Given that On January 7, Joelle opened savings account with 900. It earned 3 % interest compounded daily.

On January 8, she deposited her first paycheck of76.22.

To do: find what was her balance at the end of the day on January 8.

From the given data the starting principal amount is 900 $ and given that at an interest of 3 %

it is compounded daily then we get 900(0.03)(1/365) deposited a paycheck of 76.22 $ on adding up all of them we get

900+900(0.03)(1/365)(76.22)

=976.29 $ is the balance

Therefore, the total balance at the end of the day is 976.29 $

We have to find that how might those words apply to what you learned in this lesson

In the old days, a man who would save money was called a miser, because they just saved their money and didn’t earn anything with this money.

Thus the man wouldn’t profit from saving that money and also wouldn’t use this money for some other purpose.

However, nowadays, it is very unique and a kind of miracle to find someone who saves money, because it is not profitable to start saving money at an older age (as time is crucial in making savings grow) and thus you won’t gain much on your money (we do earn some due to compound interest).

Thus if you want to profit the most of your savings, then we need to start saving at a young age, but most people don’t tend to start saving at a young age and thus it is a kind of miracle to find someone who do as such.

A miser just saved their money and didn’t earn anything with this money.

However, nowadays someone who saved money is a wonder, because they would have to start at a young age if they want to profit from their savings.

We have given a table,

We have to find the missing amounts in the table.

We will find by using above information.

No principle amount initially thus

(1) Opening balance = 0

(1) Deposit on 10 August = $4,550

(3) The principle used to compute interest is the new balance, which is the opening balance increased by the deposit and decreased by the withdrawal.

Principle = Opening balance + Deposit − Withdrawal

=0+4550−0

=4550

(4) The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:

I=prt

=4550×0.04×1/365

≈0.50​

Thus interest rate is $0.5

(5)  Ending Balance = principal+interest

Ending Balance =4550+0.5=4550.50

ending balance is $4,550.50

(6)  Next day opening = previous day ending balance

Opening bal aug 11=4550.50

(7)  Deposit on August 11=300

(8)  principle used to compute interest is the new balance, which is the opening balance increased by the deposit and decreased by the withdrawal.

Principle = Opening balance + Deposit − Withdrawal

=4550.50+300−0

=4850.50

​(9) The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:

I=prt

=4850.50×0.04×1/365

≈0.53interest rate is $0.53

(10)  Ending Balance = principal+interest

Ending balance =4850.5+0.53=4851.03

(11)  Next day opening = previous day ending balance

Opening bal aug 12=4851.03

(12)  withdrawal=900

(13)  The principle used to compute interest is the new balance, which is the opening balance increased by the deposit and decreased by the withdrawal.

Principle= Opening balance + Deposit − Withdrawal

=4851.03+0−900

=3951.03

(14)  The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:

I=prt

=3951.03×0.04×1/365

≈0.43

​(15)  Ending Balance = principal+interest

Ending Bal=3951.03+0.43=3951.46

Given: On December 18 of a leap year, Stacy opened a savings account by depositing $6,000.

The account pays 3.45% interest, compounded daily.

On December 19 she deposited $500, and on December 20 she withdrew $2,500.

By using this data we will fill all the blanks in the table.

(1)  no principal amount initially

Thus opening balance is = 0

(2) Deposit = $6000

(3)  Withdrawal =0

(4) The principle used to compute interest is the new balance, which is the opening balance increased by the deposit and decreased by the withdrawal.

Principle = Opening balance + Deposit − Withdrawal

​(5)  The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:

I=prt

=6000×0.0345×1/365

≈0.57

​(6)  Ending Balance = principal+interest

Ending Balance =6000+0.57=6000.57

(7)  Next day opening = previous day ending balance

Opening bal =6000.57

(8)  Deposit =500

(9)  Withdraw =0

(10)  The principle used to compute interest is the new balance, which is the opening balance increased by the deposit and decreased by the withdrawal.

Principle = Opening balance + Deposit − Withdrawal

=6,000.57+500−0

=6,500.57

(11)  The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:

I=prt

=6500.57×0.0345×1/365

≈0.61

​(12) Ending balance =6500.57+0.61=6501.18

(13) Next day opening = previous day ending balance

Opening bal =6501.18

(14) deposit =0

(15)  withdrawal=2500

(16) ​ Principle = Opening balance + Deposit − Withdrawal

=6,501.18+0−2,500

Page 142 Exercise 13 Answer

Given : On May 29, Rocky had an opening balance of x dollars in an account that pays 3% interest, compounded daily. He deposits y dollars.

We have to express his ending balance on May30 algebraically.

We will use above formula .

Here, Consider that the deposit occurs on May 23

So, p=Principle

=Opening balance+Deposit

=$(x+y)

r=Interest rate

=3%

=0.03

t=Time in years

=1day

=1/365years (as there are 365 days in a year)

The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:I=prt

=(x+y)×0.03×1/365

=x×3/100×1/365

=3(x+y)/36,500

The ending balance is then the principle increased by the interest: Ending balance

=p+I

=x+3(x+y)/36,500

=36,500x+3x+3y/36,500

=36,503x+3y/36,500

Now, p=Principle=ClosingbalanceMay29

t=$(36,503x+3y/36,500)

r=Interest rate

=3%

=0.03

The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:I=prt

=(36,503x+3y/36,500)×0.03×1/365

=(36,503x+3y/36,500)×3/100×1/365

=(36,503x+3y/36,500)×3/36,500

=3(36,503x)+3(3y)/36,5002

=109,509x+9y/1,332,250,000​

The ending balance is then the principle increased by the interest:Ending balance =p+I

=36,503x+3y/36,500+109,509x+9y/1,332,250,000

=36,500(36,503x)+36,500(3y)/1,332,250,000+109,509x+9y/1,332,250,000

=1,332,359,500x+109,500y/1,332,250,000+109,509x+9y/1,332,250,000

=1,332,359,500x+109,500y+109,509x+9y/1,332,250,000

=1,332,469,009x+109,509y/1,332,250,000

Hence, The ending balance on May 30 is 1,332,469,009x+109,509y/1,332,250,000.

Therefore, The ending balance on May 30 is 1,332,469,009x+109,509y/1,332,250,000.

Given :Linda has d dollars in an account that pays 3.4% interest, compounded weekly. She withdraws w dollars.

We have to express her first week’s interest algebraically.

We will use above formula .

Here, p=Principle

=Opening balance−Withdrawal

=d−w​

r=Interest rate

=3.4%

=0.034

t=Timeinyears

=1week

=1 /52 years (as there are 52 weeks in a year)

Now, The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years: ​I

Given: The table represents the compound interest calculations for an account that pays 2% interest compounded daily. Represent a–g algebraically.

Opening balance = P

Deposit   = D

Withdrawal = $0

By using this data we will fill the table .

1) The principle used to compute interest is the new balance, which is the opening balance increased by the deposit and decreased by the withdrawal.

Principle = Opening balance + Deposit − Withdrawal

=P+D−0

=P+D

(2)  The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:

I=prt

=(P+D)×0.02×1/365

=(P+D)×2/100×1/365

=2(P+D)/36,500

=P+D/18,250

(3)  The ending balance is then the principle increased by the interest:

Ending balance =p+I

=(P+D)+(P+D)/18,250

=(P+D)(1+1/18,250)

=(P+D)(18,250/18,250+1/18,250)

=(P+D)(18,251/18,250)

=18,251(P+D)/18,250

(4)  The opening balance on February 3 is the ending balance on the previous day and thus is the ending balance on February 2.

Opening balance on February 3= Opening balance on February 2

=18,251(P+D)/18,250

(5)  The principle used to compute interest is the new balance, which is the opening balance increased by the deposit and decreased by the withdrawal.

Principle = Opening balance + Deposit − Withdrawal

=18,251(P+D)/18,250+0−W

=18,251(P+D)/18,250−W

(6)  The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:

I=prt

=(18,251(P+D)/18,250−W)×0.02×1/365

=18,251(P+D)−18,250W/18,250×2/100×1/365

=18,251(P+D)−18,250W/18,250×1/18,250

=18,251(P+D)−18,250W/18,2502

=18,251(P+D)−18,250W/333,062,500​

(7)  The ending balance is then the principle increased by the interest:

Ending balance =p+I

=18,251(P+D)/18,250−W+18,251(P+D)−18,250W/333,062,500

=18,251(P+D)−18,250W/18,250+18,251(P+D)−18,250W/333,062,500

=18,250(18,251)(P+D)−333,062,500W/333,062,500+18,251(P+D)−18,250W/333,062,500

=333,080,750(P+D)−333,062,500W/333,062,500/+18,251(P+D)−18,250W/333,062,500

=333,080,750(P+D)−333,062,500W+18,251(P+D)−18,250W/333,062,500

=333,099,001(P+D)−333,080,750W/333,062,500

Therefore,

1)The principle used to compute interest is the new balance is P+D

2)Interest = =P+D/18,250

3) Ending Balance =18,251(P+D)/18,250

4)Opening Balance =18,251(P+D)/18,250

5)The principle used to compute interest =18,251(P+D)/18,250−W

6)The interest is the product of the principle, interest rate and time in years:  =18,251(P+D)−18,250W/333,062,500

7)Ending Balance:- 333,099,001(P+D)−333,080,750W/333,062,500

=3m×0.0225×1/12

=3m×225/10000×1/12

=3m×9/400×1/12

=(3m)(9)/400(12)

=27m/4,800​

The ending balance is then the principle increased by the interest:Ending balance

=p+I

=3m+27m/4,800

=14,400m/4,800+27m/4,800

=14,400m+27m/4,800

=14,427m/4,800

=4,809m/1,600​

Hence,

The ending balance on the last day of the month is 4,809m /1,600.

Therefore,The ending balance on the last day of the month is 4,809m/1,600.
