PrefaceIntroductionContemporary Business Mathematics with Canadian Applications is intended for usein introductory mathematics of finance courses in post-secondary business management, marketing, accounting, and fi ance programs. It also provides a review of basicmathematics.The primary objective of the text is to increase the student’s knowledge and skill inthe solution of practical fi ancial and operational problems encountered in operatinga business.Organization318ChAPTEr 9COMPOUND INTErEST—fUTUrE vALUE AND PrESENT vALUEContemporary Business Mathematics with Canadian Applications is a teaching textusing problem-identifi ation and problem-solving approaches. The systematic andsequential development of the material is illustrated by examples that show a step-bystep approach to solving the problem. The detailed solutions are presented in a visuallyclear and colourful layout that allows learners to monitor their own progress in theclassroom or in independent study.Each topic in each chapter is followed by F. Calculating the numerical value of the compounding factor (1 1 i )practice exercises containing numerous drillquestions and application problems. At the endof each chapter, Review Exercises, Self-Test, and aCase Study integrate the material presented.The fi st four chapters and Appendix I (FurtherReview of Basic Algebra) are intended for studentswith little or no background in algebra and providean opportunity to review arithmetic and algebraicprocesses.The text is based on Canadian practice, and reflects current trends using available technology—specifi ally the availability of preprogrammed fi ancial calculators.Students using this book should have access to calculators having a power functionand a natural logarithm function. The use of such calculators eliminates the constraintsassociated with manually calculating results using formulas.In solving problems involving multiple steps, often values are determined that willbe used in further computations. Such values should not be rounded and all availabledigits should be retained in the calculator. Using the memory functions of the calculator enables the student to retain such non-rounded values.W hen using the memory the student needs to be aware that the number of digitsretained in the registers of the calculator is greater than the number of digits displayed.Depending on whether the memory or the displayed digits are used, slight differencesmay occur.Students are encouraged to use preprogrammed fi ancial calculators. The use ofthese preprogrammed calculators facilitates the solving of most fi ancial problems andis demonstrated extensively in Chapters 9 to 16.(iii)(iv)(v)(vi)(vii)12% p.a. compounded quarterly for 12.5 years;10.5% p.a. compounded monthly for 10.75 years;8% p.a. compounded quarterly for 30 months;9.5% p.a. compounded semi-annually for 42 months;5.8% p.a. compounded daily for 2 years.SOLUTION(1 1 i ) nmn(i)5% 5 0.05114(1) 5 14(1 1 0.05)14 5 1.0514(ii)7% 4 2 5 0.035215(2) 5 30(1 1 0.035)30 5 1.03530i412.5(4) 5 50(1 1 0.03)50 5 1.035010.5% 4 12 5 0.008751210.75(12) 5 129(1 1 0.00875)129 5 1.00875129(v)8% 4 4 5 0.02430/12(4) 5 10(1 1 0.02)10 5 1.0210(vi)9.5% 4 2 5 0.0475242/12(2) 5 7(1 1 0.0475)7 5 1.04757(vii)5.8% 4 365 5 0.000159*(iii)12% 4 4 5 0.03(iv)365(1 1 0.058/365)730 5 (1.000159*)7302(365) 5 730*roundednThe numerical value of the compounding factor, (1 1 i)n, can now be computed usingan electronic calculator.
