i = 3.25%

Explanation:

Ordinary simple annuity is one where the payments are made at the end of every interest period. The payments and the interest periods coincide. So we have $1,400 monthly payments for the period of 15 years, that means we have, 12 payments per month for 15 years and for 15 years we are gonna have 180 monthly payments of $1,400 and it is given that it at the end of every month. In exchange for those $1,400 per month payments we get $200,000. So we know from above that we are going to use Present Value formula. We know that the total amount we will be paying in 15 years is $1,400 times 180 monthly payments is equal to $252,000. The total interest paid during the period of 180 months will be the difference between the money in and money out which is $52,000.

PV = PMT $[\frac{1 - (1 + i)^{-n} }{i}]$

where;

PV = Present Value = $200,000

PMT = The amount in each annuity payment = $1,400

i = Rate of Interest = ?

n = The number of payments = 15 x 12 = 180 payments

So, by putting in the values above in the formula we get;

200000 = 1400 $[\frac{1 - (1 + i)^{-180} }{i}]$

Divide the whole equation by 1400 we get;

142.8571 = $[\frac{1 - (1 + i)^{-180} }{i}]$

We have the value 142.8571 above and the significance of the 142.8571 says that if you were not paying any interest at all, if there was 0% interest rate, it will only take approximately 143 payments of $1,400 to pay off that $200,000 which means that 142.8571 (approx: 143) payments multiplied by $1,400 is equal exactly $200,000.

But the reality is that there is interest and with interest it will take 180 payments of $1,400. So, now we have to use brute force to solve the above equation for i. In order to do that we have to assume the value of i the one higher than 142.8571 and the other below 142.8571 so we can find the exact interest rate as follows:

So, lets assume if;

0.0025 => 144.8055

i => 142.8571

0.0030 => 138.9268

Above is our table, we got lower rate of 0.0025 at the top giving us a factor of 144.8055 and i per month factor which should give us a factor of 142.8571 and a higher rate of 0.0030 at the bottom giving us a factor of 138.9268. We can say that the higher the rate is the lower the present value factor is, So now let us come up with ratio of differences as follows:

$\frac{(i - 0.0025)}{(0.0030 - 0.0025)} = \frac{(142.8571 - 144.8055)}{(138.9268 - 144.8055)}$

Solve this equation for i;

$\frac{i - 0.0025}{0.0005} = \frac{-1.9483}{-5.8786}$

$\frac{i - 0.0025}{0.0005} = 0.3314$

Multiplying the equation by 0.0005 we get and By adding 0.0025 on both sides we get;

i = 0.002666 compounded monthly

From above we can calculate our rate compounded annually as;

$(1 + 0.002666)^{12} = (1 + i)$

The above equation states that the effective rate (compounded annually rate) is 1 plus rate per month and in 1 year we will have 12 monthly periods and that is equal to 1 plus rate per year compounded only once, so 1 yearly period will have 12 monthly periods, so let us solve the above equation for i (the rate per year) as;

1.0325 = 1 + i

Subtracting 1 from both sides we get;

i = 0.0325‬

or i = 3.25%

The federal reserve took an expansionary approach during the crisis. this was done by expanding the money supply and boosting liquidity. this can be seen in the fed's actions of lending to banks, purchasing securities, and lowering the federal funds rate in order to lower overall interest rates. the fed's goal was to increase consumer spending and overall liquidity within the system, and they pursued this by expanding the supply of liquid money.

You are thinking of making your mansion more energy efficient by replacing some of the light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, and insulating part or all of your exterior walls. each compact fluorescent light bulb costs $4 and saves you an average of $2 per year in energy costs, and each square foot of wall insulation costs $1 and saves you an average of $0.20 per year in energy costs.† your mansion has 150 light fittings and 3000 sq ft of uninsulated exterior wall. to impress your friends, you would like to spend as much as possible, but save no more than $750 per year in energy costs (you are proud of your large utility bills). how many compact fluorescent light bulbs and how many square feet of insulation should you purchase? how much will you save in energy costs per year?

Areal estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. there are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. plan a has a cost of $.42 a minute for daytime calls and $.17 a minute for evening calls. plan b has a charge of $.52 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. plan c has a flat rate of $80 with 275 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.38 per minute beyond that, day or evening.a. determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 150 minutes of day calls and 70 minutes of evening calls in a month. (do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to 2 decimal places. omit the "$" sign in your response.)c. if the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?
