  13. Accumulated value of a loan is:

    What is the alternative form? (When you don't have the present value)
    AVₜ = (PV₀) * (1+it)

    PV₀ = AVₜ / (1+it)
  14. Suppose the simple int. rate is 12%/yr. Suppose PVo= $1,000. Suppose t=20 years
    • AV₂₀ = PV₀(1+it)
    •         = 1,000(1+(0.12*20))
    •         = $3,400
  15. If i=4% simple interest. How much should we deposit now to accumulate a total of $12,870 in 8 years?
    Find PV₀

    • PV₀= AVₜ / (1+it)
    •      = 12,870 / (1+(0.04*8))
    •      = $9,750
  16. Suppose that d= 6% per year (simple discount rate). Determine present value of $1,000 to be paid in:

    a) 1 year
    b) 10 years
    c) 20 years
    • .a) Pv₀= AVₜ(1-dt)
    • = 1,000(1-(0.06*1))
    • $940

    • b) PV₀= 1,000(1-(0.06*10))
    • = $400

    • c) PV₀= 1,000(1-(0.06*20))
    • $-200, Valid Restriction that t<1/d = 1/0.06
    • 1/0.06= 16.67 years (which is the maximum time)
  17. Present Value equation for SIMPLE INTEREST

    Accumulated Value equation for SIMPLE INTEREST
    PV₀= AVₜ / (1+it)

    AVₜ= PV₀(1+it)
  18. Present Value equation for SIMPLE DISCOUNT

    Accumulated Value equation for SIMPLE DISCOUNT
    PV₀= AVₜ(1-dt)

    AVₜ= PV₀ / (1-dt)
  19. d= 4% per yr (simple discount rate). How much is needed to deposit now to have $12,870 in 8 years?
    Find present value:

    • PV₀= 12,870(1-(0.04*8))
    • $8,751.60
  20. d= 4% per year. If you deposit $8,751.60 now, what is the accumulated value after 8 years?
    • AVₜ= PV₀ / (1-dt)
    • = 8,751.60 / (1-(0.04*8))
    • $12,870
  21. d= 4% per year. Adam will receive $8,000 in 30 months. What is the present value?
    • PV₀= AVₜ(1-dt)
    • = 8,000(1-(0.04*(30/12)))
    • $7,200
  22. Kate borrows $1,000 now and will repay w/ a payment of $2,000 in 20 years.
    a) What is the simple interest rate?
    b) What is the simple discount rate?
    • a) AVₜ= PV₀(1+it)
    • 2,000 = 1,000(1+20i)
    • 2 = 1+20i
    • 1 = 20i
    • i = 0.05, 5%

    • b) PV₀= AVₜ (1-dt)
    • 1,000 = 2,000 (1-20d)
    • 0.5 = 1-20d
    • -0.5 = -20d
    • d = 0.025, 2.5%
  23. Allen borrows $1,000 now and will repay $1500 in 10 years. Find i and d (simple interest)
    • AVₜ= PV₀(1+it)
    • 1500 = 1000(1+10i)
    • 1500 = 1000 + 10,000i
    • 500 = 10,000i
    • i = 0.05, 5%

    • PV₀= AVₜ(1-dt)
    • 1000 = 1500(1-10d)
    • 1000 = 1500 - 15,000d
    • -500 = -15,000d
    • d = 0.03333, 3.3%
  24. Evan will receive $x in 2 years. Celeste will receive $400 in 1 year. Suppose i is 6%/yr simple interest. Suppose present values of the pymnts are equal. Find x.
    We know PV are equal between the two. Therefore put PV₀ in-between both equations.

    • Recall: PV₀ = AVₜ / (1+it)
    • So, we have:

    • x / (1+2(0.06)) = PV₀ = 400 / (1+1(0.06))
    • x / 1.12 = 400 / 1.06
    • x= (400 / 1.06)*1.12
    • x= $422.64
  25. 1+it = ...
    1+it = 1/(1-dt)
