What is the annual nominal rate compounded daily for a bond that has an annual yield of 5.4%? Round to three decimal places. Use a 365 day year. Set up the accumulation equation: (1+i)^365 = 1.054 Take the natural log of each side 365 * Ln(1 + i) = 1.054 Ln(1 + i) = 0.000144089 Use each...

You can afford monthly deposits of $270 into an account that pays 3.0% compounded monthly. How long will it be until you have $11,100 to buy a boat. Round to the next higher month. Set up our accumulation expression: 270(1.03)^n = 11100 1.03^n = 41.1111111 Take the natural log of both sides...
