Interest rates are influenced by various factors reflecting the demand for funds and the supply of funds available in the credit markets. Write a short essay in which you identify the key factors that changed the demand for and supply of funds during the 2008 credit crisis and offer an explanation for why those factors caused a major decline in market interest rates. What lessons may be learned from the credit crisis that could prevent such an abrupt decline in the demand for funds in the future?

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). however, an exception occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period (termed an annuity due). what is the future value of a 13-year annuity of $2,800 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? the interest rate is 9 percent. use appendix c for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. to find the future value of an annuity due when using the appendix tables, add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. for example, to find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five periods at 10 percent, go to appendix c for n = 6 and i = 10 percent. look up the value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or $671.60 ($100 × 6.716)
