. A number of PV problems involve annuities (or perpetuities) beginning a few periods
hence. Students should practise combining the annuity (or perpetuity) formula with the
discounting formula to solve these problems.
“Annuities and perpetuities may have periods of every two or every m years, rather than once
fa year, They may also have shorter periods like one month or one quarter. The annuity and
perpetuity formulas can easily handle such circumstances
ce. One frequently encounters problems where the PV of one annuity must be equated with the
PY of another annuity.

‘Sons Mortgage Bank is not, The current disclosure law requires that any fees that will be
refunded if the applicant is rejected be includ in calculating the APR, but this is not
required with non-refundable fees (presumably because refundable fees are part of the loan
‘ather than a fee). What are the EARS on these (wo loans? What are the APRS?
Imagine that you see an advertisement for Crazy July's Stereo City that reads something
like this: “$1,000 Instant Credit! 18% Simple Interest! Three Years to Pay! Low, Low
Monthly Payments!” You're not exactly sure what allthis means and somebody has spilled
{nk over the APR on the loan contract, so you ask the manager for clarification.
Judy explains that if you borrow $1,000 for three years at 18 percent interest, in three
years you will owe
$1,000 x 1.18 = $1,000 x 1.64303 = $1,643.03
Jody recognizes that coming up with $1,643.03 all at once might be a strain, so she lets
you make “low, low monthly payments" of $1,643.03/36 = $45.64 per month, even though
{his is extra bookkeeping work for her.
Is this an 18 percent loan? Why or why not? What is the APR on this loan? What is the
EAR? Why do you think this is called add-on interest?
