It is a common practice in lending companies that the interest is deducted at the time money is borrowed. Mr. Anito applied a loan amount of P 50,000 with an interest rate of 16% per year. During the time he received the money, the 16% interest is being deducted and he received only P 42,000. At the end of one year, Mr. Anito has to pay P 50,000. What is the actual rate of interest?

Use economic equivalence to determine
the amount of money or value of i that
makes the following statements correct.
(a) $5000 today is equivalent to $4275
exactly 1 year ago at i =% per
year.
(b) A car that costs $28,000 today will
a year from now at i =
cost $
4% per year.
(c) At i = 4% per year, a car that costs
$28,000 now, would have cost $
one year ago.
5) The cost of tuition at public universities has been steadily increasing for many years. One Midwestern University pledged to keep the tuition constant for 4 years for all students who finished in the top 3% of their class. One such student who liked researchplanned to enroll at the university and continue there until earning a PhD degree (a total time of 9 years). If the tuition for the first 4 years will be $7200 per year and it increases by 5% per year for the next 5 years, what is the present worth of the tuition cost at aninterest rate of 8% per year?
