Chapter 3: Interest Rate and Economic Equivalence

Types of Interest
3.1
$10,000 = $5,000(1 + 0.08 N )
• Simple interest: (1 + 0.08 N ) = 2
1
N= = 12.5 years
0.08

$10,000 = $5,000(1 + 0.07) N
• Compound interest: (1 + 0.07) N = 2
N = 10.2 years

3.2
• Simple interest:
I = iPN = (0.08)($1,000)(5) = $400

• Compound interest:
I = P[(1 + i ) N − 1] = $1,000(1.4693 − 1) = $469

3.3
• Option 1: Compound interest with 8%:
F = $3,000(1 + 0.08) 5 = $3,000(1.4693) = $4,408

• Option 2: Simple interest with 9%
$3,000(1 + 0.09 × 5) = $3,000(1.45) = $4,350

• Option 1 is better

Linear Gradient Series

= $50,988.35

3.27
F = $3,000( F / A, 7%, 5) − $500( F / G, 7%,5)

(a) P = $6,000,000( P / A1 ,−10%,12%,7) = $21,372,076

(b) Note that the oil price increases at the annual rate of 5% while the oil
production decreases at the annual rate of 10%. Therefore, the annual
revenue can be expressed as follows:
An = $60(1 + 0.05) n −11000,000(1 − 0.1) n −1
= $6,000,000(0.945) n −1
= $6,000,000(1 − 0.055) n −1
This revenue series is equivalent to a decreasing geometric gradient series
with g = -5.5%.
So, P = $6,000,000( P / A1 ,−5.5%,12%,7) = $23,847,896

(c) Computing the present worth of the remaining series ( A4 , A5 , A6 , A7 ) at the end
of period 3 gives
P = $5,063,460( P / A1 ,−5.5%,12%,7) = $14,269,652

Short Case Studies
ST 3.1 Assuming that they are paid at the beginning of each year
(a)
$15.96 + $15.96( P / A,6%,3) = $58.62
It is better to take the offer because of lower cost to renew.

(b)

ST 3.2 The equivalent future worth of the prize payment series at the end of
Year 20 (or beginning of Year 21) is


14

F1 = $1,952,381( F / A, 6%, 20)

The equivalent future worth of the lottery receipts is

F2 = ($36,100, 000 − $1,952,381)( F / P, 6%, 20)
= $109,516, 040

The resulting surplus at the end of Year 20 is

F2 − F1 = $109,516, 040 − $71,819, 490
= $37, 696,550

ST 3.3

∴ At i = 6% , the deferred plan is a better choice.

(b) Using either Excel or Cash Flow Analyzer, both plans would be
economically equivalent at i = 15.72%

ST 3.9

Basically we are establishing an economic equivalence between two
payment options. Selecting n = 0 as the base period, we can calculate the
equivalent present worth for each option as follows:

Option 1: P = $140, 000
Option 2: P = $32, 639( P / A, i %,9)

Or,

$140, 000 = $32, 639( P / A, i%,9)
i = 18.10%

If Mrs. Setchfield can invest her money at a rate higher than 18.10%, it is
better to go with Option 1. However, it may be difficult for her to find an
investment opportunity that provides a return exceeding 18%.
