The document contains 16 multiple choice questions related to finance concepts such as compound interest, present value, annuities, and loans. It also includes a short conceptual question about the differences between perpetuities and annuities versus perpetuities/annuities due. The questions cover calculating interest, amounts, payments, and values over time under different interest rates and compounding periods.

II B. II only D. neither is true
Solution
9. Answer: B: 6.00%
2. Compounded Annually: 1000 x (1.054)^5 = $1,300
Simple Interest: 1000 + [1000 x 6.00% x 5] = $ 1,300.
10. Answer: E: $3,791.
Present Value of Perpetuity starting payment from Year 1 = Annuity / Rate of Interest =
1000/10% = $ 10,000
Present Value of Perpetuity starting payment from Year 5 = Annuity / (Rate x (1+Rate) ^
Delayed Period = (1000/(0.1*(1.1)^5)) = $ 6,209.
Difference = $ 3,791.
11. Answer: C : $203.49
Rate of Interest: 1000 x ((1+r/2)^20) = 1800; where by solving for 'r' we get, r = 5.97% P.A.
Compounded Semi annually.
Simple Interest @ 5.97% P.A. would have been: $ 1,000 x 5.97% x 10 Years = $ 597.
Hence the Interest on Interest would be $ 203.49.
12.Answer: C: $5,488
Assume the principle amount to be 'Y'.
10,000 = Y x [(1+(0.03/365))^(365 Days x 20 Years)]
Solving for Y we get $ 5,488.
13.Answer: D: $ 634
EMI = 27000 / PVAF (0.05%, 48) = $ 634.10
14. Answer: A; $ 3.15
EMI in Advance = 27000 / PVAF (0.05%,47) = $ 630.94
Difference = $ 3.16
15. Answer: C: $ 54.
Advance Deposits: Final Value = $ 10,873.66
End Deposits: Final Value = $ 10,820
Difference: $ 54.

17. Answer: C: Both I and II.
Payments made under an ordinary annuity/Perpetuity occur at the end of the period while
payments made under an annuity?Perpetuity due occur at the beginning of the period,thereby the
differnce being a period of Payment/Interest.
