Q. A sum of money is invested at a certain rate of interest for 4 years. If the true discount is $400, what is the present worth if the rate of interest is 5%?
A.
$1600
B.
$2000
C.
$2400
D.
$2800
Solution
Let Present Worth = x. True Discount = x * Rate * Time / 100. 400 = x * 5 * 4 / 100. Solving gives x = $2000.
Q. A sum of money is invested at a rate of 6% per annum. If the true discount on the sum for 5 years is $500, what is the sum?
A.
$3000
B.
$3500
C.
$4000
D.
$4500
Solution
Let the sum be x. True Discount = x * 6 * 5 / 100. Thus, 500 = x * 30 / 100. Solving gives x = $1666.67. Therefore, the sum = $1666.67 + $500 = $2166.67.
