When the demand and supply curves of a product are represented on the same coordinate plane, the point where the curves intersect is called the point of equilibrium.

Break-Even Points
profit = total revenue(TR) – total cost(TC)
total cost(TC) = variable cost(VC) + fixed cost(FC)
The break-even point is where TR = TC.

16. Compound Interest (1 of 6)
Example 1 – Compound Interest
Suppose that $500 amounted to $ in a savings account after three years. If interest was compounded semiannually, find the nominal rate of interest, compounded semiannually, that was earned by the money.

20. Compound Interest (5 of 6)
Effective Rate
Example – Effective Rate To what amount will $12,000 accumulate in 15 years if it is invested at an effective rate of 5%?

21. Compound Interest (6 of 6)
Example – Comparing Interest Rates If an investor has a choice of investing money at 6% compounded daily or 6⅛ % compounded quarterly, which is the better choice?

22. Present Value (1 of 6)
Example 1 – Present Value Find the present value of $1000 due after three years if the interest rate is 9% compounded monthly.

23. Present Value (2 of 6)
Example 1 – Continued
Example – Equation of Value A debt of $3000 due six years from now is instead to be paid off by three payments: $500 now, $1500 in three years, and a final payment at the end of five years. What would this payment be if an interest rate of 6% compounded annually is assumed?

24. Present Value (3 of 6)
Example – Continued

25. Present Value (4 of 6)
If an initial investment will bring in payments at future times, the payments are called cash flows.
The net present value, denoted NPV, of the cash flows is defined to be the sum of the present values of the cash flows, minus the initial investment.
If NPV > 0, then the investment is profitable; if NPV < 0, the investment is not profitable.

26. Present Value (5 of 6)
Example – Net Present Value You can invest $20,000 in a business that guarantees you cash flows at the end of years 2, 3, and 5 as indicated in the table below. Assume an interest rate of 7% compounded annually and find the net present value of the cash flows.

28. Interest Compounded Continuously (1 of 3)
Example 1 – Compound Amount

29. Interest Compounded Continuously (2 of 3)
Example – Trust Fund A trust fund is being set up by a single payment so that at the end of 20 years there will be $25,000 in the fund. If interest compounded continuously at an annual rate of 7%, how much money should be paid into the fund initially?

30. Interest Compounded Continuously (3 of 3)
Example – Trust Fund

31. Annuities (1 of 6)
An annuity is any finite sequence of payments made at fixed periods of time, of equal length, over a given interval.
The fixed periods of time are referred to as the payment period.
The given interval is the term of the annuity.

32. Annuities (2 of 6)
Example 1 – Present Value of Annuity Find the present value of an annuity of $100 per month for 3½ years at an interest rate of 6% compounded monthly.

33. Annuities (3 of 6)
Example – Periodic Payment of Annuity If $10,000 is used to purchase an annuity consisting of equal payments at the end of each year for the next four years and the interest rate is 6% compounded annually, find the amount of each payment.

34. Annuities (4 of 6)
Example 5 – Future Value of an Annuity Find the future value of an annuity consisting of payments of $50 at the end of every three months for three years at the rate of 6% compounded quarterly. Also, find the compound interest.

35. Annuities (5 of 6)
Example – Sinking Fund A sinking fund is a fund into which periodic payments are made in order to satisfy a future obligation. Suppose a machine costing $7000 is to be replaced at the end of eight years, at which time it will have a salvage value of $700. In order to provide money at that time for a new machine costing the same amount, a sinking fund is set up. The amount in the fund at the end of eight years is to be the difference between the replacement cost and the salvage value. If equal payments are placed in the fund at the end of each quarter and the fund earns 8% compounded quarterly, what should each payment be?

40. Perpetuities (1 of 4)
We consider briefly the possibility of an infinite sequence of payments.
We measure time in payment periods starting now – at time 0 – and consider equal payments, to continue indefinitely.
We call such an infinite sequence of payments a perpetuity, visualized on a timeline below.

Example 1 – Present Value of a Perpetuity Dalhousie University would like to establish a scholarship worth $15,000 to be awarded to the first year Business student who attains the highest grade in MATH 1115, Commerce Mathematics. The award is to be made annually, and the Vice President Finance believes that, for the foreseeable future, the university will be able to earn at least 2% a year on investments. What principle is needed to ensure the viability of the scholarship?
