True

False
The effective annual rate is always greater that the simple rate as a result of compounding effects.
the smaller the present value of a future sum of money
The higher the rate of interest
False
The lower the interest rate, the less money you have to put in the bank today have a given amount at some point in the future.
greater the effective interest rate
The more frequent the compounding the

The present value of a future amount is
- Is equal to the sum of the present values of each period's cash flow - has a future value (as an amount) equal to the future value of the annuity - has a future value (as an amount) equal to the sum of the annuity's cash flow - All of the above are correct
