In Exercises 1-10, a. Find the value of each annuity. Round to the nearest dollar b. Find the interest.$$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \begin{array}{l} \$ 1000 \text { at the end of } \\ \text { every three months } \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} 6.25 \% \text { compounded } \\ \text { quarterly } \end{array} & 6 \text { years } \\ \hline \end{array} $$
A bank bills its credit card holders on the first of each month for each itemized billing. The card provides a 20-day period in which to pay the bill before charging interest. If the card holder wants to buy an expensive gift for a September 30 wedding but can't pay for it until November 5 , explain how this can be done without adding an interest charge.
Solve for \(P\) : $$ A=\frac{P\left[\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}-1\right]}{\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)} . $$ What does the resulting formula describe?
a. Suppose that between the ages of 22 and 40 , you contribute \(\$ 3000\) per year to a \(401(\mathrm{k})\) and your employer contributes \(\$ 1500\) per year on your behalf. The interest rate is \(8.3 \%\) compounded annually. What is the value of the \(401(\mathrm{k})\), rounded to the nearest dollar, after 18 years? b. Suppose that after 18 years of working for this firm, you move on to a new job. However, you keep your accumulated retirement funds in the \(401(\mathrm{k})\). How much money, to the nearest dollar, will you have in the plan when you reach age 65 ? c. What is the difference between the amount of money you will have accumulated in the \(401(\mathrm{k})\) and the amount you contributed to the plan?
Exercises 19 and 20 refer to the stock tables for Goodyear (the tire d. How many shares of this company's stock were traded company) and Dow Chemical given below. In each exercise, use yesterday? the stock table to answer the following questions. Where necessary, e. What were the high and low prices for a share yesterday? round dollar amounts to the nearest cent. f. What was the price at which a share last traded when the stock a. What were the high and low prices for a share for the past exchange closed yesterday? b. If you owned 700 shares of this stock last year, what dividend g. What was the change in price for a share of stock from the did you receive? h. Compute the company's annual earnings per share using c. What is the annual return for the dividends alone? How does Annual earnings per share this compare to a bank offering a \(3 \%\) interest rate? $$ =\frac{\text { Yesterday's closing price per share }}{P E \text { ratio }} . $$ $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text { 52-Week High } & \text { 52-Week Low } & \text { Stock } & \text { SYM } & \text { Div } & \text { Yld \% } & \text { PE } & \text { Vol 100s } & \text { Hi } & \text { Lo } & \text { Close } & \text { Net Chg } \\ \hline 56.75 & 37.95 & \begin{array}{c} \text { Dow } \\ \text { Chemical } \end{array} & \text { DOW } & 1.34 & 3.0 & 12 & 23997 & 44.75 & 44.35 & 44.69 & +0.16 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
