1.You can buy a security for $1,000. It is expected to pay you $80 at the end of each of the next 3 years, then to pay you $1,080 at the end of the 4th year. What is the expected annual rate of return on this investment?
2.Assume that you plan to buy a condo 7 years from now. You have no funds now, but you estimate that you can save $3,500 per year. You plan to deposit the money in a bank that pays 5% annual interest, and you will make the first deposit at the end of the current year. How much will you have 7 years from now? Disregard taxes.
3.A Treasury bond that will mature in 5 years currently sells for $500. The bond will pay nothing until it matures, at which time it will pay $1,000. By how much would the annual interest rate one could expect to earn on the bond change if the price suddenly rose to $600?
