1. Jack Hilbert invests $1000.00 at the beginning of each year for five years. The account earns 5% compounded annually. Complete the following annuity table for Jack's saving plan.

In Exercises 2 and 3, find the balance of each increasing annuity (using the balance formula).

2. A periodic, annual deposit of $2000.00 at 12% compounded annually for 15 years.

3. A periodic weekly deposit of $40.00 at 6% compounded weekly for five years.

4. Maria Keller made deposits of $200.00 at the beginning of each month for four years. The account earns 7% compounded monthly. After four years of deposits, Maria leaves the money in the account for an additional six years (without making any further deposits). Find the balance in Maria's account at the end of the ten years. (Hint: Use the annuity formula first, then apply the compound interest formula to annuity balance)

5. Sherrie Orlov wants to save $1000.00 in one year by making weekly deposits into a savings account that pays 3.5% compounded weekly.

12. A loan of $800.00 for 90 days at an annual percentage rate of 18%.

14. Bill and Carly Taylor took out a 90-day note for $1000.00. If the finance charge was $44.38, find the annual percentage rate of their loan.

15. A furniture store advertises recliner chairs for $299.95 with no down payment. Bob Charters decides to buy one of the chairs and signs a 90-day note in which he agrees to pay the full amount plus interest calculated at 18% per year. If, in addition to the interest, Bob is asked to pay a $10.00 service charge, what is the actual annual percentage rate of his loan?

16. Determine the finance charge and the annual percentage rate on an $800.00 loan for 90 days at an annual discounted interest rate of 15%.

In exercise 17 find the: a) the monthly payment, b) the total payment, and c) the finance charge.

17. An installment loan for $20,000.00 is to be repaid in equally monthly payments for 15 years with an annual percentage rate of 9%.

18. Sally Blackstone takes out a $1000.00 installment loan at an annual percentage rate of 14%. If Sally can afford to make payments of no more than $50.00 per month, which of the followings terms should Sally request?

• 6 months
• 12 months
• 18 months
• 24 months
• 30 months

19. For the loan in exercise 18, suppose that Sally could afford payments of up to $65.00 per month. Which term should she now choose and how much would she save in finance charges by choosing this shorter term?

In Exercises 20 to 29, consider a $500.00 installment loan to be repaid in six months with an annual percentage rate of 11.5%.

20. Find the monthly payment.

21. Find the interest payment for the first loan.

22. Find the balance after one payment.

23. Find the interest payment for the second month.

24. Continue the process started in exercise 21 to form an amortization schedule covering the entire term of this loan.

25. Find the percentage of the total finance charge for this loan paid after the first payment.

26. Find the percentage of the total finance charge for this loan paid after the first two payments.

27. Suppose this loan were paid off at the time of the third monthly payment. What would the balance due be at this time?

28. Suppose this loan were paid off at the time of the fourth monthly payment. What would the balance due be at this time?

29. How much is saved in finance charges if the loan is paid off at the time of the third monthly payment?

30. Arlene Tompson borrows $2000.00 to purchase a piano. She has a choice of obtaining the loan from two different sources. One source offers her the loan for 24 monthly payments at an annual percentage rate of 14%. The second source offers the loan for 18 monthly payments at an annual percentage rate of 16%.
