Q6-Q9. Use appropriate tvm table in your textbook's appendix to solve Q6-Q9. For each question, cite the appropriate table that you are using, show the formula, and then plug-in your numbers to solve. Show all your work.
Q6 pv= $7,200 rate = 7% periods = 15 Solve for fv
Q7 fv=$15,000 rate = 15% periods = 10 Solve for pv
Q8 payment = $6,000 interest rate =8% number of periods = 10 Solve for pva
Q9 payment = $4,000 interest rate =10% number of periods = 20 Find fva
For Q10-Q13, you many use tvm tables, a financial calculator, or excel to solve. Be sure to show all the steps in your work: factors & formula if you use the tables; keystrokes if you use a financial calculator; or formulas if you use excel.
