he borrowed 250,000 from the bank at 6% discount rate.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he agreed to pay them back that amount in 5 years.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "what i understand from this is that the bank expects him to pay them 250,000 in 5 years.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since the bank needs to make 6% a year on their investment, you are looking for the present value of a future value of 250,000.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the formula to use is f = p * (1 + r) ^ n\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f is the future value
\n" ); document.write( "p is the present value
\n" ); document.write( "r is the interest rate per time period.
\n" ); document.write( "n is the number of time periods.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in this problem, the formula becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "250,000 = p * 1.06 ^ 5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 1.06 ^ 5 to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "250,000 / 1.06 ^ 5 = p\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for p to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p = 186,814.5432.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's how much he would get now if he promises to pay the bank 250,000 five years from now.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if he needed 250,000 now, then the formula becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f = 250,000 * 1.06 ^ 5 = 334,556.3944.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's how much he would have to pay the bank back in 5 years if he needed to have 250,000 now.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
