Exercise
A bank agrees to lend 10,000 now and X three years from now in exchange for a single repayment of 75,000 at the end of 10 years. The bank charges interest at an annual effective rate of 6% for the first 5 years and at a force of interest
[[math]] \delta_t = \frac{1}{t+1}, \quad \textrm{for} \, t \geq 5.[[/math]]
Calculate X
- 23,500
- 24,000
- 24,500
- 25,000
- 25,500

Solution: D
The effective annual interest rate is
[[math]]\dot{l}=(1-d)^{-1}-1=(1-0.055)^{-1}-1=5.829 \%.
[[/math]]
The balance on the loan at time 2 is 15, 000, 000(1.0582)2 =16, 796,809.
The number of payments is given by
[[math]]1,200,000 a_{\overline{n}|} = 16, 796,809[[/math]]
which gives [math]n = 29.795 \Rightarrow 29[/math]
payments of 1,200,000. The final equation of value is
[[math]]
\begin{align*}
1.200,000a_{\overline{{{29}}}|}+X(1.0582)^{-30}=16,796,809 \\
X=(16,796,809-16,621,012)(5.45799)=959,490.
\end{align*}
