45 A $50,000 loan is to be amortized over 7 years, with annual end-of-year payments Which of these statements is CORRECT?

a The annual payments would be larger if the interest rate were lower

b.If the loan were amortized over 10 years rather than 7 years, and if the interest rate

were the same in either case, the first payment would include more dollars of interest

under the 7-year amortization plan

c The proportion of each payment that represents interest as opposed to repayment of

principal would be lower if the interest rate were lower

d.The last payment would have a higher proportion of interest than the first payment

e The proportion of interest versus principal repayment would be the same for each of

the 7 payments

ANSWER: c

RATIONALE: a, d, and e can be ruled out as incorrect by simple reasoning b is also incorrect

because interest in the first year would be loan amount × interest rate regardless

of the life of the loan, so the interest payment would be identical for the first payment Think about the situation where r = 0%, statement c is the “most logical guess.” One could also set up an amortization schedule and change the numbers

hence it can earn more interest over the 10 years A also dominates C and E for the same reason, and it dominates D because with D no interest whatever is earned We could also do these calculations to answer the question:

ANSWER: d

TOPICS: Solving for I: uneven CFs

a If you have a series of cash flows, each of which is positive, you can solve for I, where

the solution value of I causes the PV of the cash flows to equal the cash flow at Time

0

b.If you have a series of cash flows, and CF0 is negative but each of the following CFs is

positive, you can solve for I, but only if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows

exceeds the cost

c To solve for I, one must identify the value of I that causes the PV of the positive CFs

to equal the absolute value of the FV of the negative CFs It is impossible to find the

value of I without a computer or financial calculator

d.If you solve for I and get a negative number, then you must have made a mistake

e If CF0 is positive and all the other CFs are negative, then you can still solve for I

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

a An account that pays 8% nominal interest with monthly compounding

b An account that pays 8% nominal interest with annual compounding

c An account that pays 7% nominal interest with daily (365-day)

compounding

d An account that pays 7% nominal interest with monthly compounding

e An account that pays 8% nominal interest with daily (365-day)

compounding

ANSWER: e

RATIONALE: By inspection, we can see that e dominates a and b, and that c dominates d

because, with the same interest rate, the account with the most frequent compounding has the highest EFF% Thus, the correct answer must be either e or

c Moreover, we can see by inspection that since c and e have the same compounding frequency yet e has the higher nominal rate, e must have the higherEFF% You could also prove that e is the correct choice by calculating the EFF

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

a An account that pays 8% nominal interest with monthly compounding

b An account that pays 8% nominal interest with annual compounding

c An account that pays 7% nominal interest with daily (365-day)

compounding

d An account that pays 7% nominal interest with monthly compounding

e An account that pays 8% nominal interest with daily (365-day)

compounding

ANSWER: d

RATIONALE: By inspection, we can see that b must have a lower EFF% than either a or e

because they all pay the same nominal rate but b is compounded least frequently

Similarly, c and d pay the same rate, but d is compounded less frequently, hence

d must have the lower EFF% So, the correct answer must be either b or d 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,

d is the correct answer

65 You plan to invest some money in a bank account Which of the following banks provides you with the highest effective rate of interest?

a Bank 1; 6.1% with annual compounding

b Bank 2; 6.0% with monthly compounding

c Bank 3; 6.0% with annual compounding

d Bank 4; 6.0% with quarterly compounding

e Bank 5; 6.0% with daily (365-day)

compounding

ANSWER: e

RATIONALE: By inspection, we can see that e dominates b, c, and d 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 e However, we cannot tell byinspection whether a or e provides the higher EFF% We know that with one compounding period a's EFF% is 6.1%, so we can calculate e's EFF% It is 6.183%, so e is the correct answer
