compounding
One step in calculating an EAR is to _____ the quoted rate by the number of times that the interest is compounded.
divide

end
T/F: If the interest rate is greater than zero, the value of an annuity due is always less than an ordinary annuity.
false
T/F: The effective annual rate is the interest rate expressed in terms of the interest payment made each period.
false
T/F: The interest rate charged per period on a loan divided by the number of periods per year equals the annual percentage rate.
false
T/F: The payment for an annuity can be calculated using the annuity present value, the present value factor, and the interest rate.
false
T/F: To find the annuity future value factor, you only need the cash flows and the discount rate.
false
T/F: When using a financial calculator to find the number of payments, the PMT value should be entered as a positive.
false
T/F: With interest-only loans, the principle is never repaid.
false
When calculating annuity present values using a financial calculator, the _____ amount is left blank.
future value
More frequent compounding leads to:
higher EARs
A perpetuity is a constant stream of cash flows for a(n) _____ period of time.
infinite

When finding the present or future value of an annuity using a spreadsheet, the _____ should be entered as a decimal.
interest rate
An ordinary annuity consists of a(n) _____ stream of cash flows for a fixed period of time.
level
A simple way to amortize a loan is to have the borrower pay the interest each period plus some fixed amount. This approach is common with _____-term business loans.
medium
