2. A social networking company wanted to raise $100,000 and issued twenty, $5000 bonds paying
a 10% coupon rate payable semi-annually for five years. It set up a sinking fund to repay the debt
at the end of five years and made deposits at the end of every six months into the fund. The
sinking fund was earning 6.5% compounded semi-annually.
(i) Calculate the periodic cost of the debt.
(ii) Calculate the book value of the debt after three years.
Given:
0.065
FV = $100,000; t = 5 years; =
=
2
= 0.0325
m = 2 deposits per year X 5 years = 10 semi-annual deposits
Required: periodic cost of the debt; and book value of the debt after three years
Solution: (i)
PMT Interest Payment on the Bond = 100,000.00 x 0.05 = $5000.00

FV = $56,129.09
Book Value of the Debt after 3 years = Principal Amount of the Debt - Sinking Fund Balance
at the End of 3 years
= 100,000 - 56,129.09
Book Value of the Debt after 3 years = $43,870.91
3. Suppose you deposit $900 per month into an account that pays 4.8% interest, compounded
monthly. How much money will you have after 9 months?

12 12
Required: FV
Solution:

(1 + 0.0004) 1
= 900 [ ]
0.0004
FV = $8112.97
4. You want to set up an education account for your child and would like to have $75,000 after
15 years. You find an account that pays 5.6% interest, compounded semiannually, and you
would like to deposit money in the account every six months. How large must each deposit be in
order to reach your goal?
Given:
0.056
FV = 75000; = 2
= 0.028; m = 30
Required: PMT
Solution:
(1 + ) 1
= [ ]
(1 + 0.028) 1

PMT = $1628.19
5. You have a retirement account with $2000 in it. The account earns 6.2% interest,
compounded monthly, and you deposit $50 every month for the next 20 years. How much will
be in the account at the end of those 20 years?
Given:
PV = 2000; r = 6.2% 0.062; m = 12; t = 20 years
Required: FV (in 20 years)
Solution:
= [1 + ]
0.062 (12)(20)
= 2000[1 + ]
