What amount can Jonie expect to have available for her children’s post-secondary education when they are ready to enroll? A: $18,866.84 C/Y = 1, P/Y = 1, N = 10, I/Y = 5, PV = $0, PMT = -$1,500, FV = ? [$18,866.84] Ben plans to buy a property for $650,000. If that property is expected to increase in value by 3 percent each year, what will its approximate value be seven years from now? A: $799,418.01 C/Y = 1, P/Y = 1, N = 7, I/Y = 3, PV = -$650,000, PMT = $0, FV = ? [$799,418.01] A collector’s item that cost $12,000 in 1998 is valued at $16,000 ten years later. What was the annual rate of increase on this collector’s item over the ten years? A: 2.92% C/Y = 1, P/Y = 1, N = 10, I/Y = ? [2.918%], PV = -$12,000, PMT = $0, FV = $16,000 If you want to have $7,000 in five years, how much do you have to deposit today if your investment earns a return of 4 percent compounded quarterly. A: $5,736.81 C/Y = 4, P/Y = 1, N = 5, I/Y = 4, PV = ? [$5,736.81], PMT = $0, FV = $7,000 Anita wants to have $1.5 million in her RRSP by the time she retires in twenty-eight years. She plans to start saving on a monthly basis. Assume she can earn 6 percent compounded semi-annually, what is the monthly savings amount required to reach this goal? A: $1,749.38 C/Y = 2, P/Y = 12, N = (28*12) 336, I/Y = 6, PV = $0, PMT = ? [-$1,749.38], FV = $1,500,000 You have $100,000 to invest today and you can earn 5 percent per year.

[$8,024.26], FV = $0 You have $800 in a savings account that earns 6 percent compounded annually. How much additional interest would you earn in three years if you moved the $800 to an account that earns 6 percent compounded monthly? A: $4.53 Account 1: C/Y = 1, P/Y = 1, N = 3, I/Y = 6, PV = -$800, PMT = $0, FV = ? [$952.81] Account 2: C/Y = 12, P/Y = 1, N = 3, I/Y = 6, PV = -$800, PMT = $0, FV = ? [$957.34] VARIANCE (FV) = $4.53 Trent, having reached his goal of $140,000 balance in his RRSP, starts withdrawing $1650 at the end of each month. If interest continues at 5.75 percent compounded quarterly, for how long can he make withdrawals? A: 109 months C/Y = 4, P/Y = 12, N = ?
