You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if you're using the TI-BA-II, it can be tricky to use.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i did some double checking to see what i would get based on what your problems were asking.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your first problem as i understand it:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "monthly payment = 900
\n" ); document.write( "annual interest rate = 3%
\n" ); document.write( "interest rate is compounded weekly.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you want to know what the future value of those payments will be.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i get a future value of 45,840.72\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is significantly different than your future value of 145,955.43\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i double checked to see if my figure was valid and i believe that it is.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "just a quick check using 12 months to a year for 4 years at 3% per interest rate compounded 12 times a year gets me a future value of 45,838.08757.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is a little less than what i got with 3% compounded weekly, but not much less.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if i take 3% and compound it monthly, my future value of 1 dollar for 12 months would be 1.030415957 which is the effective interest rate.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if i take 3% and compound it weekly, my future value of 1 dollar for 52 weeks would be 1.03044562.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3% compounded weekly is equal to 1.000028788 times as much as 3% compounded monthly.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it gets you more but not very much more, therefore my check of 3% compounded monthly on monthly payments of 900 for 4 years should be close, and it is.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your future value of 145,955.43 is much higher and so i believe it is in error.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for part B, my understanding is that you are investing 9000 at the end of each year for 4 years.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as a yearly investment of 9000 for 4 years at 4% compounded daily, i get a future value of 38,264.22226\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's closer to what you got but not quite there.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "my assumptions are that your payments are at the end of each month or year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to ensure that the calculator is processing end of period payments, i clicked on 2d pmt and the calculator showed END.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since that was correct, i clicked on 2d cpt to quit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if i wanted beginning of period payments, i would have clicked on 2d pmt and, if i saw END, i would click on 2d enter which would then change END to BGN.
\n" ); document.write( "since that's what i would want, i would then click 2d cpt to quit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "double check what you did and let me know if you get anything different than what i got.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the answers to the other parts of your question will be determined after we agree on your answers to the first part.\r
