  1. Hello Adam,

    You’re correct, and I appreciate your thoroughness in considering both approaches. While it’s true that the Future Value of $1 table can be used, in this context, the question specifically asks for the amount Lyan should invest now to achieve a future value of $5000 after four years.

    Using the Future Value of $1 table would entail finding out how much $1 invested today would grow to in four years at 7% interest. This gives the future value of $1, but it doesn’t directly provide the present value of a future amount, which is what we need in this case.

    The Present Value of $1 table directly provides the value of a future amount in present terms, which aligns with the question’s requirement of determining the amount Lyan needs to invest now.

    So while both tables can theoretically yield the same result, the Present Value of $1 table is the more appropriate choice for this specific question, as it directly provides the present value of a future amount, aligning with the question’s requirements.

    1. Hello Cyndee,

      If the question had said ten years of semiannual payments, then you would use n = 20. Here it says ten semiannual payments, so it’s 10 total payments.

      Based on the question’s wording, ten semiannual payments means 10 periods, not 20. That’s why n = 10 is appropriate.

      The “semiannual” part is handled by adjusting the rate per period, not by doubling the number of payments. Since the discount rate given is 6% annually, the semiannual rate is 3% per period (6% ÷ 2).

      Hope this makes sense!

  2. #5 While this question seems to be easier, some people may struggle to understand it. The question does not state Melania’s age; as a result, this can confuse future users to answer this question. If Melania is 2 years old, then we have five periods instead of seven.

    1. Hello Christopher,

      You are correct! The wording is confusing because the question does not clearly tell us that the $500,000 gift will be received 7 years from today.

      I’ve updated the question to remove the ambiguity.
      Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
