  C) 20,770.90
  D) 20,800.00

Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Using the FVIFA formula for r = 8.50 and n = 20, we get FVIFA = 48.377013. The annuity payment we need to put away each year is: PMT = = = 20,670.97.
MODE = END
INPUT 20 8.5 0 ? -1,000,000
KEY N I/Y PV PMT FV
CPT 20,670.97

Answer to Question 2

Answer: For the annual basis, the periodic rate is the same as the annual rate of 7.25. With a PV of 25,000 and APR of 7.25, we have 1.0725 times PV equals 26,812.50, rendering an interest earned of 26,812.50 - 25,000 = 1,812.50. For the daily basis, we have C/Y of 365, periodic interest rate = r = 0.019863 (0.00019863). Taking (1 + periodic rate) to the power of C/Y gives: (1.00019863)365 = 1.075185. Multiplying this number by PV gives 26,879.63, rendering an interest earned of 26,879.63 - 25,000 = 1,879.63. Thus, the difference in interest earned is 1,879.63 - 1,812.50 = 67.13.
