  1. $5298994$

  2. $3297000$

  3. $4297994$

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$A=10,00,000, t=15,r=6\%$

$A=\sum _{ n=1 }^{ 14 }{ P{ (1+\cfrac { r }{ 100 } ) }^{ n }+P } $
$\implies 10,00,000=P[\sum _{ n=1 }^{ 14 }{ { (1+\cfrac { 6 }{ 100 } ) }^{ n }+ 1} ]$
$\implies 10,00,000\times (22.276+1)\ \implies P=Rs.42963$

Find the amount of annuity of Rs. $4000$ p.a. for $10$ years reckoning compound interest at $10\%$ p.a.

  1. Rs. $63,706$

  2. Rs. $63,670$

  3. Rs. $67,360$

  4. Rs. $63,760$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
$Payment  \space  'P'= 4000$
$N=10$
$R=10%=10/100=0.1$
$A=P(\dfrac{(1+r)^n - 1)}{r}) $
$=4000(\dfrac{(1.1)^{10} -1}{0.1})$
$=63760$

  1. Rs. 63,760

  2. Rs. 63,670

  3. Rs. 63,205

  4. None.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$P=Rs.4000$

$n=10$
$x=10$%
    $=\dfrac { 10 }{ 100 } =0.1$
$M=\dfrac { P }{ r } \left( { \left( 1+r \right)  }^{ n }-1 \right) $
     $=\dfrac { 4000 }{ 0.1 } \left( { \left( 1.1 \right)  }^{ 10 }-1 \right) $
     $=40000(2.594-1)$
     $=63760$.
$\therefore $  Amount of annuity $=63760$

  1. Rs. $23,809.41$

  2. Rs. $32,218.63$

  3. Rs. $32,908.41$

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B,D
Explanation:

Payment $P=3000$

$n=15$ years
rate=$4.5%$
$\therefore r=\cfrac { 4.5 }{ 100 } \ =0.045\ PV=P\left( \cfrac { 1-(1+r)^{ -n } }{ r }  \right) \ =3000(\cfrac { 1-(1+(1+0.045)^{ -15 } }{ 0.045 } )\ =3000(\cfrac { 1-(1.045)^{ -15 } }{ 0.045 } )\ =32218.63$
 $\therefore PV$ of the annuity is 
 $32218.63.$

Rs. $200$ is invested at the end of each month in an account paying interest $6\%$ per year compounded monthly. What is the future value of this annuity after $10$th payment? Given that $(1.005)^{10}=1.0511$.

  1. $2,044$

  2. $2,404$

  3. $2,440$

  4. $2,004$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A$=$Rs. $200$
$n=10$
i$=6\%$ p.a. $=6/12\%$ per month $=0.005$
Future value of annuity after $10$ months is given by
A(n, i)$=A\left[\displaystyle\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}\right]$
$A(10, 0.005)=200\left[\displaystyle\frac{(1+0.005)^{10}-1}{0.005}\right]$
$=$Rs. $2,044$.
