M.T. just celebrated her 22nd birthday. When she is 27, she will receive a $100,000 inheritance. M.T. needs funds for the downpayment on a co-op in Manhattan and has found a bank that will give her the PV of her inheritance amount, assuming an 8.0% stated annual interest rate compounded continuously. Will the proceeds be sufficient to cover her downpayment of $65,000?
One general question: Is it in the exams really the case that you have closest answers instead of correct answers? This can be somtimes a bit confusing…
You get the 67,028 if you use for I/Y 8,33 instead of the 8,328. But I too find it tricky to have not the exact result in the answers. Makes me think I miscalculated, which I sometimes do.
