3. Question 1
• It is desired to borrow 1000 $ to meet a financial obligation. This
money can be borrowed from a loan agency at a monthly interest rate
of 2 percent. Determine the following:
a) The total amount of principal plus simple interest due after 2 years if no
intermediate payments are made.
b) The total amount of principal plus compounded interest due after 2 years if
no intermediate payments are made
c) The nominal interest rate when the interest is compounded monthly
d) The effective interest rate when the interest is compounded monthly

after 2 years if no intermediate payments are made.

• For the case of a nominal annual interest rate of 20 percent,
determine

after one 365 day year with daily compounding.

after one year with continuous compounding.
