Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Although this problem is not directly addressed in the text, its intended effect is to reinforce the idea of present value. In this kind of problem, the student must find a present value in the future, and then discount that renamed future value back to the present value at time zero.
Option Near: PV = PMT  = 5,000  = 13,121.58.
Option Far: PV = PMT  / (1 + r)n = 5,000  / (1.07)9 = 12,963.41.
