    SECTION 6.6 PROBLEM SET: CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCE PROBLEMS

    Let the letters A, B, C, D, E and F be represented as follows:

    \[\begin{array}{lll}A=F V \text { of a lump-sum } & C=F V \text { of an annuity } & E=\text { Installment payment } \\ B=P V \text { of a lump-sum } & D=\text { sinking fund payment } & F=P V \text { of an annuity }\end{array} \nonumber \]

    Classify each by writing the appropriate letter in the box, and write an equation for solution.

    1) What monthly deposits made to an account paying 9% will grow to $10,000 in 4 years?

    2) An amount of $4000 is invested at 6% compounded daily. What will the final amount be in 5 years?

    3) David has won a lottery paying him $10,000 per month for the next 20 years. He'd rather have the whole amount in one lump sum now. If the current interest rate is 7%, how much money can he hope to get?

    4) Each month Linda deposits $250 in an account that pays 9%. How much money will she have in 4 years?

    5) Find the monthly payment for a $15,000 car if the loan is amortized over 4 years at a rate of 10%.

    7) What amount of quarterly payments will amount to $250,000 in 5 years at a rate of 8%?

    8) The Chang family bought their house 25 years ago. They had their loan financed for 30 years at an interest rate of 11% resulting in a payment of $1350 a month. Find the balance of the loan.

    A 10-year $1000 bond pays $35 every six months. If the current interest rate is 8%, in order to find the fair market value of the bond, we need to find the following.

    9) The present value of $1000.

    10) The present value of the $35 per six month payments.

    11) What lump-sum deposit made today is equal to 33 monthly deposits of $500 if the interest rate is 8%?
