How to solve this kind of annuity type problem?

22 May

An investor deposits 1000 pesos per year in a bank which offers an interest of 18% per annum for time deposits of over 5 years. Compute how much the investor can collect at the end of 13 years, assuming that he never withdraws any amount before the 13th year.

I really need help. I don’t need instant answer. I only need to know what are this and that and how to solve it. Thank you so much in advance!

Can anybody solve this Question?? it’s so hard~?

17 May

Sharb Digit Pty Ltd wishes to accumulate funds to provide a retirement annuity for its Director of Marketing, Penny Peters. Penny, by contract, will retire at the end of exactly 10 years. On retirement, she is entitled to receive an annual end-of-year payment of $35,000 for exactly 20 years. If she dies prior to the end of the 20-year period, the annual payments will pass to her heirs. During the 10-year ‘accumulation period’, Sharb Digit wishes to fund the annuity by making equal annual end-of-year deposits into an account earning 8% p.a. interest. Once the 20-year ‘distribution period’ begins, Sharb Digit plans to move the accumulated monies into an account earning a guaranteed 10% p.a. At the end of the distribution period the account balance will equal zero. Note that the first deposit will be made at the end of year 1 and the first distribution payment will be received at the end of year 11.

1.Draw a time-line depicting all the cash flows associated with the above accumulation and distribution periods.

2.How large a sum must Sharb Digit accumulate by the end of the year 10 to provide the 20-year, $35,000 annuity?

3. How large must Sharb’s equal annual end-of-year deposits into the account be over the 10-year accumulation period to fund Penny’s retirement annuity fully?

How would you solve for for R in the Present Value of Annuity (1/r)(1-(1/(1+r)^n))?

12 Mar

R is the rate of interest and n is the number of years. The n is an exponential value of 1+r. It can also be written as (r^-1)(1-(1+r)^n).
As written the formula for the Present value of annuity of $1 in Arrears; (1/r)(1-(1/(1+r)^n)). For each dollar invested per n years, the principal will grow by the ammount given. I am trying to solve for r. So it could be A=(P)(1/r)(1-(1/(1+r)^n)) where A is the Amount (or total), P is the Principal, r is the rate, and n is the number of years.

10 points to best answer – can’t solve equation!?

06 Mar

It’s the “Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity” formula, but solving for the rate…
Here’s a picture of the equation:

http://i36.tinypic.com/99j2qe.png

I tried solving for r the best I could, even my math professor can’t figure it out… I’m hoping someone can help me, I’ll give 10 points to the the person that can best explain step-by-step how to tackle this thing.

I asked this question before, and I got an answer “just replace r/12 with x”. I tried working my way though with that too, but I can’t get rid of the exponent or anything… I just can’t figure this out!

Could someone good at mathematics please work though the problem and explain how to solve this?

Please help me solve this Finance question…your opinions help! Thank you so much?

28 Feb

I know it may be alittle long..but please help me, I really appreciate it! Thanks to all the kind people on Yahoo Answers!

Totals: 1972 Start-up through FY 2000*
Total Lottery Ticket Sales $25.12 billion
Net Revenue to Aid Education $9.83 billion
Retailer Commissions $1.68 billion
Prizes to Players$12.86 billion
*http://www.Michigan.gov/lottery

The Big Game is a multi-state lottery game with BIG Jackpots.Seven states participate in The Big Game: Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia. By teaming up together, the member lotteries are able to offer players jackpots that start at $5 million. The jackpots grow until someone wins. Jackpots can grow as high as $200 million or more. In fact, The Big Game holds the record for the largest lottery jackpot ever in the United States: $363million! This jackpot rolled 18 times since last being hit! Two winning tickets — one sold in Michigan, and one sold in Illinois — matched all six numbers in this Big Game drawing, each worth an annuitized value of $181.5 million. The winners were Larry and Nancy Ross of Shelby Township, Michigan, and Joe and Sue Kainz of Lake County, Illinois.The Michigan Lottery can pay Big Game jackpot winnings inone of two ways: as an annuity or in one lump-sum/cash-option payment for the present cash value of the jackpot share. When a winnerselects annuity payments, the jackpot is paid out in equal installments over 26 years. When a winner selects the cash option, the Lottery paysthe winner the present cash value of the announced jackpot in onelump-sum payment, which is typically about 50% of the publishedvalue. In effect, the Lottery takes all of the money that would have been invested to fund the 26-year annuity and turns it all over to the winner, retaining absolutely none of the prize. Regardless of which option thewinner selects, the Michigan Lottery is required by law to withholdestimated income taxes for federal (28 percent) and state (4.2 percent), on any prize over $5,000. These amounts are estimates only, and the winner is required to satisfy any further tax liability for the year inwhich the prize award is claimed.

——————————————————————————–

Q1) Why do most winners select the cash option plan when given a choice?

Q2) If Michigan Lottery would like to give the annuity option an equal chance of being selected, how would it have to structure its payments?

How do I use logorithms and exponenents to solve a Time-Value-of-Money problems using only a PVA table and Cal

22 Feb

The present value of an annuity table

has interest rate on one axis

and has number of periods on the other axis.

A year ago during my finance classes, I came accross a way to compute the value of “interests rate missing on the table” that are “between consecutive incremental interest rates”

For example, if the increments are 1/10th of a percent, then I used to know a way to solve increments which were “in between”.

I remember like if the PVA table jumps from 5 to 5.5 to 6 to 6.5 etc…

I used to know a way to solve for 6.3 by logarithms.

I will look it up tonite, but want to ask on here, to see if anyone else knows how to do it (I found that in my prestigious public university’s finance 4000 level classes, that my classmates were inept at math)

My formula was something like “ln 6 minus ln 5″ or I would take the ln of the difference.

I take adderall for ADD and it affects my limbic reward response system, so I ask questions on yahoo answers which it tells me
