Assessment #3: Answer Key (30 pts @ 3 pts each)

1. If you borrow ₱3,000 at 14% rate of interest compounded annually for 10 months, how much will
you owe in 10 months?

𝑖 𝑚𝑛
Given: 𝑃 = ₱3,000 Solution: 𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + 𝑚)
10
0.14 (12)(1)
𝑖 = 14% = 0.14 𝐹 = ₱3,000 (1 + 1 ) = ₱3,346.12
𝑚=1
10
𝑛 = 12

2. How much money would you need to deposit today at 9% annual interest compounded semi-
annually to have ₱12,000 in the account after 6 years? How about the interest earned?

𝑖 𝑚𝑛
Given: 𝐹 = ₱12,000 Solution: 𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + )
𝑚
0.09 ₱12,000
𝑖 = 9% = 2
𝑃 = (1+0.045)12 = ₱7,075.97
𝑚=2
𝑛 = 6 𝑦𝑟𝑠. 𝐼 = 𝐹 − 𝑃 = ₱12,000 − ₱7,075.97 = ₱4,924.03

3. Find the amount of interest on a loan of 1,600.00 at a 17% simple interest rate after 42 months.
Compute also the amount due end of 42 months.

Given: 𝑃 = ₱1,600 Solution: 𝐼 = 𝑃𝑖𝑛


𝑖 = 17% = 0.17 𝐼 = (₱1,600)(0.17)(3.5) = ₱952.00
42
𝑛 = 12 = 3.5 𝑦𝑟𝑠
𝐹 = 𝑃 + 𝐼 = ₱1,600 + ₱952.00 = ₱2,552.00

4. Determine the ordinary and exact simple interests on ₱14,550 for the period March 28, 1997 to Oct 18,
1997, if the rate of simple interest is 18.75%.

Given: 𝑃 = ₱14,550 Solution: 𝐼 = 𝑃𝑖𝑛


𝑖 = 18.75% = 0.1875
1997 is a normal year For OSI:

Months ESI 204


𝐼 = (₱14,550)(0.1875) (360) = ₱1,545.94
March 3
April 30
For ESI:
May 31
June 30
204
July 31 𝐼 = (₱14,550)(0.1875) (365) = ₱1,524.76
August 31
September 30
October 18
TOTAL 204 days

5. A principal of ₱5,500 is placed in a savings account at 6% per compounded bi-monthly. How much is in the
account after one year, two years, and three years?

Given: 𝐹 = ₱5,500 @ 𝑛 = 2 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠


0.06
𝑖 = 6% = 6 = 0.01 𝐹2 = ₱5,500(1 + 0.01)6(2)
𝑚=6
𝐹2 = ₱6,197.54
𝑖 𝑚𝑛
Solution: 𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + )
𝑚
@ 𝑛 = 1 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 @ 𝑛 = 3 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠
𝐹1 = ₱5,500(1 + 0.01)6(1) 𝐹3 = ₱5,500(1 + 0.01)6(3)

𝐹1 = ₱5,838.36 𝐹3 = ₱6,578.81

6. Approximately how many years will it take to double an investment at a 6.57% interest rate compounded
semi-annually?

Given: 𝑃 𝑙𝑛(2) = 𝑙𝑛 (1 + 0.03285)2(𝑛)


𝐹 = 2𝑃 𝑙 𝑛(2) = 2𝑛 ln(1 + 0.03285)
0.0657 ln(2)
𝑖 = 6.57% = 2
= 0.03285 2𝑛 = 1.03285 = 21.445

21.445
Solution: 𝑛= = 10.72 ≈ 11 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠
2
𝑖 𝑚𝑛
𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + )
𝑚
2𝑃 = 𝑃(1 + 0.03285)2(𝑛)
2𝑃 = 𝑃(1 + 0.03285)2(𝑛)
2 = (1 + 0.03285)2(𝑛)

7. ₱19,500 is borrowed for 65 days at 16% per annum exact simple interest. How much will be due at the end
of 45 days?

Given: 𝑃 = ₱19,500 Solution: 𝐹 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑖𝑛)


65
𝑖 = 16% = 0.16 𝐹 = ₱19,500 (1 + 0.16 (365)) = ₱20,055.62
45
𝑛 = 365

8. Engr. Trinidad loans from a loan firm an amount of ₱100,000 with a rate of simple interest of 20% but the
interest was deducted from the loan at the time the money was borrowed. If at the end of one year, she has
to pay the full amount of ₱100,000 what is the actual rate of interest?

𝑖 𝑚𝑛
Given: 𝑃 = ₱100,000 − 20%(100,000) = ₱80,000 Solution: 𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + 𝑚)
𝐹 = ₱100,000 ₱100,000 = ₱80,000(1 + 𝑖(1))
𝑛 = 1 𝑦𝑟 ₱100,000 = ₱80,000 + ₱80,000𝑖
₱100,000 − ₱80,000 = ₱80,000𝑖
₱20,000
𝑖 = ₱80,000 = 0.25 𝑥 100% = 25%

9. Mr. Bacani borrowed money from the bank. He received from the bank ₱1,842.00 and promise to repay
₱2,000 at the end of 10 months. Determine the rate of interest compounded bi-monthly?

𝑖 𝑚𝑛
Given: 𝑃 = ₱1,842.00 Solution: 𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + 𝑚)
10
𝑖 6(12)
𝐹 = ₱2,000 ₱2,000 = ₱1,842.00 (1 + )
6
10
𝑛 = 12 𝑖 = 0.0996 𝑥 100% = 9.96%

10. The sum of ₱26,000 was deposited in a fund earning interest at 8% per annum compounded quarterly.
Approximately, how much is the fund at the end of 8 years?

𝑖 𝑚𝑛
Given: 𝑃 = ₱26,000 Solution: 𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + 𝑚)
0.08 8(4)
𝑖 = 8% 𝐹 = ₱26,000 (1 + )
4
𝑛 = 8 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝐹 = ₱48,998.06 ≈ ₱50,000
𝑚=4
