You will enter the Initial Amount of Savings (Present Value), Annual Interest Rate (Rate of Return), and Number of Periods/Years into the calculator. The calculator will compute the Future Values.
In this scenario you will look at the impact of interest rates on your savings. Suppose that you have $2,000 of savings. You don’t anticipate needing to dip into these funds in the next five years. Based on the information provided in the table, calculate the future value (FV) of $2,000 at the end of years 1 and 5 if it were to be completely invested in each of the different cash management products.

Scenario 3: Cost of Credit / Opportunity Cost / Trade-Offs 
5. In this scenario you will calculate the monthly payment and total interest paid on a car loan. Suppose that you need $15,000 to buy a used vehicle to get back and forth to work and school. You have $7,500 in a money market fund earning 1.00% per year, but you are not sure you want to use any or all of that money.  
Using the tables in Exhibit 1-D, located on pp. 42-43 in the Ch. 1 Appendix of Focus on Personal Finance, determine the total amount of payment due at the end of each year, and divide by 12 to estimate the monthly payment for each of the following loan scenarios. Also, calculate the total amount of interest you would pay over the life of each loan. Be sure to show your work for opportunities to earn partial credit, where applicable. 
For example, if you have the correct formula but put a decimal in the wrong spot you could earn partial credit. The first row in the table has been completed to demonstrate you how work can be shown.
  
Loan Amount 

Interest Rate 

Term 

Monthly Loan Payment = Amount Borrowed divided by “Table Factor in Exhibit 1-D”   divided by 12  

Total Amount of Interest = (Monthly Loan Payment * Term * 12) – Loan   Amount 
 
$7,500 

6% 

3 years 

Example:
7500/2.673=2,805.84
2,805.84/12= 233.82

Example:
(233.82*3*12) – 7,500= 917.52
