(This is called a zero-coupon or pure discount bond)

Q3. Imagine that you deposit \$6,000$6,000 a year, starting one year from today, for four years into a savings account paying 6\%6% per annum.

(That is one deposit of \$6,000$6,000 per year.)

How much money will you have immediately after you make your fourth and final deposit?

Q4. Imagine that your goal is to retire 34 years from today with $1,000,000 in savings. Assuming that you currently (i.e., today) have $5,000 in savings, what rate of return must you earn on that savings to hit your goal?

(Hint: Solve your future value formula for the discount rate, R)

  • 0.16860.1686
  • 0.20000.2000
  • 4.88244.8824

Q5. Assume that a bond makes 30 equal annual payments of \$1,000$1,000 starting one year from today. (This security is sometimes referred to as an amortizing bond.)

If the discount rate is 3.5\%3.5% per annum, what is the current price of the bond?

(Hint: Recognize that this cash flow stream is an annuity and that the price of an asset is the present value of its future cash flows.)

Q6. Assume that a bond makes 10 equal annual payments of \$1,000$1,000 starting one year from today. The bond will make an additional payment of \$100,000$100,000 at the end of the last year, year 10. (This security is sometimes referred to as a coupon bond.)

If the discount rate is 3.5\%3.5% per annum, what is the current price of the bond?

(Hint: Recognize that this bond can be viewed as two cash flow streams: (1) a 10-year annuity with annual payments of \$1,000$1,000, and (2) a single cash flow of \$100,000$100,000 arriving 10 years from today. Apply the tools you’ve learned to value both cash flow streams separately and then add.)

  • 107.75107.75 Billion Dollars
  • 10.7810.78 Billion Dollars

Q9. A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is, loosely speaking, like a credit card for your home. You can borrow money by drawing down on the line of credit. But, because the borrowed money is for the purpose of your home, the interest is tax-deductible meaning that you can deduct the interest paid on this money from your income to reduce your taxes. If the current annual interest rate on a HELOC is 3.85\%3.85% and your tax rate is 32\%32%, what is the after-tax interest rate you will pay on any borrowings under the HELOC?

Q3. You have just purchased a home by borrowing \$400,000$400,000 for 30-years at a fixed APR of 3.87\%3.87%. What is the monthly mortgage payment?

(Hint: A mortgage is just an annuity where the borrowed amount is the present value of the annuity.

So, use the annuity formula, but solved for the cash flow in terms of the present value:

CF = \frac{PV\times R/k}{1 – (1 + R/k)^{(-T\times k)}} 1−(1+R/k)(−T×k)PV×R/k
