Question 5
3 out of 3 points

Suppose Randy Jones plans to invest $1,000. He can earn an effective annual rate of 5% on Security A, while Security B has an effective annual rate of 12%.

Rate on B
12%
FVB =

Question 6
3 out of 3 points

Your bank account pays an 8% nominal rate of interest. The interest is compounded quarterly. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Question 8
3 out of 3 points

Which of the following statements regarding a 15-year (180-month) $225,000, fixed-rate mortgage is CORRECT? (Ignore taxes and transactions costs.)

Correct Answer: The outstanding balance declines at a faster rate in the later years of the loan's life.

Response Feedback: a is the correct answer. Thinking through the question, the other answers can all be eliminated. One could also set up an amortization schedule to prove that only statement a is correct.

Question 9
3 out of 3 points

Which of the following bank accounts has the lowest effective annual return?

Correct Answer: An account that pays 7% nominal interest with monthly compounding.

Response Feedback:
By inspection, we can see that c must have a lower EFF% than either a or b because they all pay the same nominal rate but c is compounded least frequently. Similarly, d and e pay the same rate, but e is compounded less frequently, hence e must have the lower EFF%. So, the correct answer must be either c or e. It is not obvious which of these two has the lower EFF%, so we must do a quick calculation to determine the correct response. As the following calculations show, e is the correct answer.
a.
8.328% = (1 + 0.08/365)3651
b.
8.300% = (1 + 0.08/12)121
c.
8.000% = (1 + 0.08/1)11
d.
7.250% = (1 + 0.07/365)3651
e.
7.229% = (1 + 0.07/12)121

Question 10
3 out of 3 points

Which of the following bank accounts has the highest effective annual return?

Correct Answer: An account that pays 8% nominal interest with daily (365-day) compounding.

Response Feedback:
By inspection, we can see that a dominates b and c, and that d dominates e because, with the same interest rate, the account with the most frequent compounding has the highest EFF%. Thus, the correct answer must be either a or d. Moreover, we can see by inspection that since a and d have the same compounding
