1. What is the amount of interest earned on $6,500 for seven years at 10% simple interest per year?

2. You deposit $10,000 in a savings account that earns 8% simple interest per year. How many years will it take to double your balance? If, instead, you deposit the $10,000 in another savings account that earns 6% compounded yearly, how many years will it take to double your balance?

3. Suppose you have the option of receiving either $5,000 at the end of five years or P dollars today. Currently, you have no need for the money, so you could deposit the P dollars into a bank account that pays 9% interest compounded annually. What value of P would make you indifferent in your choice between P dollars today and the promise of $5,000 at the end of five years?

4. Which of the following alternatives would you choose, assuming an interest rate of 10% compounded annually?

1. Receive $400 today.
2. Receive $600 four years from now.
3. Receive $800 eight years from now.

5. State the amount accumulated by a present investment of $4,500 in four years at 7% compounded annually.
