You agree to repay a loan over five years with the following stream of cash payments: $1,000, $1,100, $1,250, $1,280, and $1,300. If you wish to discount these payments to their present value today using 4%, why can you not use one annuity calculation, as seen in previous chapters?

Watch Future Value of Uneven Cash Flows; then, answer the following questions: Using Excel, determine the future value of this series of expected unequal receipts five years from now if each payment is received at the end of each year, beginning one year from now, and the interest rate is 6% compounded annually. End of year 1: $3,800 End of year 2: $4,400 End of year 3: $5,100 End of year 4: $5,800 Note: Since the last payment is at the end of year 4, this is the start of year 5, so no compounding is needed for this cash flow. 2. When using Excel’s built-in Future Value function, why does Dr. Konners enter dollar amounts as negative numbers?

You have just made your first $2,000 contribution to your individual retirement account. Assuming you earn a 9 percent rate of return and make no additional contributions, what will your account be worth when you retire in 45 years? What if you wait 10 years before making a contribution? (Does this suggest an investment strategy?)

moles of an ideal gas with a molar heat capacity at constant volume of cal/(mol·K) and a molar heat capacity at constant pressure of cal/(mol·K) starts at K and is heated at constant pressure to K, then cooled at constant volume to its original temperature. How much heat (in calories) flows into the gas during this two-step process?  Enter only a numerical value with three significant figures, no units.
