Explanation / Answer

P = A / (1 + rt)

p = 140000/ (1+(12%*20)=

41,176.47

2-

P = A / (1 + rt)

p = 135000/ (1+(7%*20)= 96428.57

3- fv = ANNUITY AMOUNT*(1+r)n-1+ ANNUITY AMOUNT*(1+r)n-2 +...................ANNUITY AMOUNT*(1+r)n-n

    FV = annuity amount * CVAF10% 9 Years

            15500*13.579 = 210474.5

4-fv = ANNUITY AMOUNT*(1+r)n-1+ ANNUITY AMOUNT*(1+r)n-2 +...................ANNUITY AMOUNT*(1+r)n-n

    FV = annuity amount * CVAF5% Years

            5000*12.5778= 62889.46

           5- by using the excel function to get the value of semiannually deposits

=PMT(4%,9,0,60000,0)=5669.58

interest rate per semi annual = 8/2 = 4% time period = 4.5*2 = 9 semi annual periods

or FV = annuity amount * CVAF = 60000 = annuity amount * 10.582

Annuity amount = 60000/10.582 = 5669.58

6- rate of interest = r = n[(A/P)1/nt - 1]

     5[33750/25000)1/5*4 -1] = 7.79%

7- present value = annuity *PVAF11% 7 Years

                              24000*4.172 = 100128

4.712196

8- option no 2 Present value = annuity * PVAF = 6000*4.622 = 27732

option no 3 Present value = annuity * PVAF = 4000*3.992 + 19000= 34968

option 1 = 30000

Option 3 is the best one offering 34968
