So he makes 12 payments of 75 , compounded 1 time a year for 5 years . His present value is 5000.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N=60, 5*12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where were you messing up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk but ended up with $9,793.50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probably the number of periods , remember always multiply the amount of years · 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got it, but now i'm stuck on another one Patrick bought a 15-year treasury bond for a face amount of $500. The 3.5% interest will be compounded quarterly. What will the future value of Patrick’s investment be when he goes to cash it in on the maturity date 15 years from now? $649.35 $837.67 $843.30 $3,939.05

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Future value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N=180, compound periods per year =4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where are u stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U payed 500 right so payment =1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm N= 60 = number of periods.... 15 years & interest is compounded quarterly (15*4) I/Y= interest rate per period.... 3.5%/4 = 0.875% PV = face value = what you pay for the bond now => $500 PMT = payment per period => 0, you are not receiving any payments FV = ? => compute => $843.30149 $843.30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that what u got ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea sorry that is correct I usually use the ti84 financial app , that is correct tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):
