To find: Interview a bank representative about trust accounts.
Find out what the abbreviations POD, ATF, and ITF mean.
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.
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

To find: Compare and contrast the accounts offered by the same bank.
What are the benefits of each? What are the drawbacks of each?
Who might be better served by each type of checking account?
Explain which account might be best for your financial situation.
When you start looking online at the different types of checking accounts, there are many different types such as:
Free checking account: No monthly maintenance fee, Possible overdrafts fees, Possible transactions/services fees
Online checking account: Checking accounts available online, many online checking accounts have no monthly maintenance fees, often have lower fees.
Second Chance checking account: Checking accounts for people who had there account terminated due to not covering overdrafts;
Low fees, Low minimum balances, Restrict use of certain services
Student checking account: Checking accounts intended for students; Low fees, Low minimum balances
Senior checking account: Checking accounts intended for a certain age group; Breaks in monthly fees.
Joint checking account: At least two people are authorized to make transactions and write checks; Convenient for married couples
Business checking account: Designed to handle a large amount of transactions
Interest-bearing checking account: You receive interest on your money (at a decent rate; even though it will still be quite low)
Money market checking account: A type of interest bearing checking account, higher interest rate, possibly a higher minimum balance, possibly a limited number of monthly transactions
In your case, a student checking account is most likely the most interesting, as you are still a student.
Hence the answer could vary
Page 167 Problem 3 Answer
To find; While the law states that free checking accounts cannot have minimum balances or per-check fees, there are other fees and penalties that are allowable.
Research the allowable fees and penalties on checking accounts. Make a list and explain the purpose and cost of each.
There are many different fees and penalties on checking accounts.
You can find them easily using a search engine and searching for “checking account allowable fees” or something similar.
The most common fees/penalties on checking accounts are:
Monthly maintenance fee: Fee that has to be paid each month
ATM fees: Fee paid for every transaction at an ATM
Overdraft fees
Abandoned account fee: applies when the account is unused for three to five years
Account closed early fee: when you close an account within 90 or 180 days of opening it.
Reconciliation fee: when there is a discrepancy between your records and the bank’s records (tends to be a fee per hour).
Check printing fee: Charge for checks
Counter check fee: Offered when you run out of checks, but only a limited number of counter checks are free.

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

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:
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.

We will try to estimate the values based on the investment done.
As, we know that we have a deposit in every quarter. So, we get investment that will be a future value of a periodic deposit investment.
Thus, we can say that when saving is done for a new car that you will buy when you graduate college in four years then the future value of a periodic deposit investment is being done.

Given: Santos deposited 1,800 in an account that yields 2.7% interest, compounded semiannually.
To find: How much is in the account after 54 months.
Interest will be the difference of amount and the principle value.
On using the compound interest formula, we can get the value as
A=1800(1+0.027/2)54÷6
=2030.89
Thus, we can say that$2030.89 is in the account after 54 months when Santos deposited 1,800 in an account that yields 2.7% interest, compounded semiannually.

Given: Stephanie signed up for a direct deposit transfer into her savings account from her checking account.
To find: How much will be in the account at the end of 6.5 years.
We will use the formula of Future value of a investment to get the result.
On using the formula for Future value of a investment, we get the value as
B=P((1+r/n)nt−1)/r/n
=150((1+0.026/12)12×6.5−1)/0.026/12
≈12,731.79
Thus, we can say that $12,731.79 be in the account at the end of 6.5 years when Stephanie signed up for a direct deposit transfer into her savings account from her checking account.

Given: Jazmine needs 30,000 to pay off a loan at the end of 5 years.
To find: How much must she deposit monthly into a savings account.
We will use the formula of present value of a investment to get the result.
On using the formula for present value of a investment, we get the value as
P=B×r/n(1+r/n)nt−1
=30,000×0.03/12(1+0.03/12)12×5−1
≈464.06
Thus. we can say that $464.06 must she deposit monthly into a savings account that yields 3% interest, compounded monthly.

Given: Tom wants to have50,000 saved sometime in the future.
To find: How much must he deposit every month into an account .We will use the formula of present value of a investment to get the result.
On using the formula for present value of a investment, we get the value as
P=B×r/n(1+r/n)nt−1
=50,000×0.028/12(1+0.028/12)12×x/12−1
=50,000×0.028/12(1+0.028/12)x−1
that give us the graph as
interest, compounded monthly that gives us the graph as
