Annual Percentage Rate (APR)

APR = (Stated Rate) x (365/Actual Days)

You are considering a payday loan for $100, which you will repay in 19 days when you will receive your next monthly salary payment. The loan company wants a post-dated check for $120 dated 19 days in the future. What is the actual annual percentage rate (APR) that you will be paying?

APR = Nominal Interest x (365 / Actual Days)\ = .20 x (365 / 19) = .20 x 19.2 = 384%

A new credit card is advertising a monthly rate of 1.3%. What is the actual annual percentage rate (APR) on this credit card?

Every year, for the past 20 years, your grandfather has been putting $20,000 into an investment fund for you. The fund has grown to $632,000 today. What has been the average annual compound growth rate on these funds?

Nuclear Engineering Associates Inc. has a bond outstanding with an initial maturity of 20 years and a par value of $1,000, which bond now sells for $891.68. The bond has a coupon rate of 5.0%, paid annually, and now has 18 years remaining to maturity. What is the yield to maturity of this bond?

PV of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value Finding yield to maturity is an iterative process. First, we find the coupon: $1,000 x .05 = $50 annually Now, the iteration begins. Since the price is less that par value, this is a discount bond. Since bond prices and interest rates move inversely to each other, the yield to maturity must be higher than the original coupon rate of 5%. Let's start with a rate of 7%. Calculation of PV of Coupons PV = C x (Factor from Table A.3 for 7% and 18 years) PV = $50 x 10.0591 PV = $502.96 Calculation of PV of Par Value PV = FV x (Factor from Table A.2 for 7%, 18 years) PV = $1,000 x .2959 PV = $295.90 Addition $502.96 + $295.90 = $798.86 OK, so 7% produces a value of $798.86, which is below the price of $891.68. So, we have to try a rate lower than 7 % to get a higher price nearer $891.68. So, let's try 6%. Calculation of PV of Coupons PV = C x (Factor from Table A.3 for 6% and 18 years) PV = $50 x 10.8276 PV = $541.38 Calculation of PV of Par Value PV = FV x (Factor from Table A.2 for 6% and 18 years) PV = $1,000 x .3503 present value PV = $350.30 Addition $541.38 + $350.30 = $891.68 SUCCESS!! The YTM is 6.0%.

Ten years ago, LaSalle Global Inc. issued a 20-year, $1,000 par value bond, with a coupon rate of 6.00%, paid annually. Today, the bond has ten years remaining to maturity, and the bond is currently selling in the market for $1,162.25. What is the bond's yield to maturity (YTM)?

PV of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value Finding yield to maturity is an iterative process. First, we find the coupon: $1,000 x .06 = $60 annually Now, the iteration begins. Since the price is more that par value, this is a premium bond. Since bond prices and interest rates move inversely to each other, the yield to maturity must be lower than the original coupon rate of 6%. Let's start with a rate of 5%. Calculation of PV of Coupons PV = C x (Factor from Table A.3 for 5% and 10 years) PV = $60 x7.7217 PV = $463.30 Calculation of PV of Par Value PV = FV x (Factor from Table A.2 for 5%, 10 years) PV = $1,000 x.6139 PV = $613.90 Addition $463.30 + $613.90 = $1,077.20 OK, so 5% produces a value of $1,077.20, which is more than par, but still less than $1,162.25. So, we have to try a rate lower than 5% to get a higher price. So, let's try 4%. Calculation of PV of Coupons PV = C x (Factor from Table A.3 for 4% and 10 years) PV = $60 x 8.1109 PV = $486.65 Calculation of PV of Par Value PV = FV x (Factor from Table A.2 for 4% and 10 years) PV = $1,000 x .6756 PV = $675.60 Addition $486.65 + $675.60 = $1,162.25 SUCCESS!! The yield to maturity is exactly 4.0%.

Five years ago, Atlas Industries sold a bond with a par value of $1,000, with 30 years to maturity, and with a coupon rate of 6.0%, paid annually. Today, with 25 years remaining to maturity, the yield to maturity is 8.0%. What is the price of this bond?

PV of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value First, we find the coupon: $1,000 x .06 = $60 per annum Calculation of PV of Coupons PV = C x (Factor from Table A.3 for 8% and 25 years) PV = $60 x 10.6748 PV = $640.49 Calculation of PV of Par Value PV = FV x (Factor from Table A.2 for 8% and 25 years) PV = $1,000 x .1460 PV = $146.00 Addition Price = $640.49 + $146.00 = $786.49

Ten years ago, Excelsior Manufacturing sold a 30-year bond issue, with a par value of $1,000, and a coupon rate of 9%, paid annually. Today, with 20 years remaining until maturity, the yield to maturity is 5.0%. What is the price of this bond?

PV of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value First, we find the coupon: $1,000 x .09 = $90 per annum Calculation of PV of Coupons PV = C x (Factor from Table A.3 for 5% and 20 years) PV = $90 x12.4622 PV = $1,121.60 Calculation of PV of Par Value PV = FV x (Factor from Table A.2 for 5% and 20 years) PV = $1,000 x .3769 PV = $376.90 Addition Price = $1,121.60 + $376.90 = $1,498.50

You are a commercial property owner. A prospective customer offers to rent your property for ten years, with equal annual payments of $10,000, starting immediately. Assuming that your discount rate is 10%, what is the present value of this proposal?

This is an annuity due problem, with payments made at the beginning of each year. First, we calculate the answer as a normal annuity problem: PV = C x (Present value factor from Table A.3 for 10 years and 10%) = $10,000 x (6.1446) = $61,446 Next, we solve for the annuity due value: PV of Annuity Due = (PV of Ordinary Annuity) x (1.00 + .10) = $61,446 x 1.10 = $67,591

You are a consultant. A prospective client offers to sign a $100,000 contract for your services, with payment as follows: Immediate down payment $10,000 Payable at the end of year one 30,000 Payable at the end of year two 30,000 Payable at the end of year three 30,000 At a discount rate of 12%, what is the present value of your prospective client's proposal?

This is the "quarterback" problem, with multiple single amounts. We will use Table A.2 to solve. First, we set up the schedule of cash flows: Immediate Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Cash Inflow $10,000 $30,000 $30,000 $30,000 Next, we find the present value factors for years 1, 2, and 3 in the column for 12% in Table A.2. The present value factor for money received in the present is always 1.0000. Immediate Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Cash Inflow $10,000 $30,000 $30,000 $30,000 PV Factor 12% 1.0000 .8929 .7972 .7118 Next, we multiply each cash inflow by its present value factor. Immediate Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Cash Inflow $10,000 $30,000 $30,000 $30,000 PV Factor 12% 1.0000 .8929 .7972 .7118 Present Value $10,000 $26,787 $23,916 $21,354 We then add the found present values to find the combined present value: $10,000 + $26,787 + $23,916 + $21,354 = $82,057

In January 2010, the average house price in the United States was $283,400. In January 2000, the average house price in the United States was $200,300. What was the annual compounded rate of increase, to the nearest tenth of one percent, in the average house price from 2000 to 2010?

To answer this question, we can use either the FV or the PV formula. We will use the FV formula, that is: FV = PV x FACTOR Next, we fill in the information that we have: $283,400 = $200,300 x FACTOR Then, we calculate the factor: $283,400/$200,300, or 1.4149. Next, we go to Table A.1, the future value table. In the "Period" column, we find the line for 10 years, then move right until we find two factors that bracket 1.4149. Those are 1.3439 for 3% and 1.4802 for 4%. So, we know that our interest rate is between 3% and 4%. Next, we interpolate to find the exact rate: 1.4802 4.00% 1.4149 ? % 1.3439 3.00% (1.4149 - 1.3439)/(1.4802 - 1.3439) = x/(4.0000 - 3.0000) .0710 / .1363 = x / 1.0000 .1363 x = .0710 x = .0710 / .1363 x = .5209 So, the rate is 3.0000% + .5209%, or 3.52% Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percentage point, our answer is 3.5%
