In fund A, $100,000 accumulates at an annual nominal rate of interest j compounded semiannually to $130,666.52 in 4 years. In fund B, $100,000 accumulates at an annual nominal rate of discount k compounded quarterly to $154,531.82 in 5 years. In fund C, $100,000 accumulates at an annual effective rate of interest j in year one and an annual effective rate of interest k in year 2. What is the balance in fund C at the end of year 2?

at the end of year 2, the balance of fund C = $116,639.23

Explanation:

to determine the nominal semiannual interest rate j we can use the future value formula:

$130,666.52 = $100,000 x (1 + j)⁸

(1 + j)⁸ = $130,666.52 / $100,000 = 1.3066652

⁸√(1 + j)⁸ = ⁸√1.3066652

1 + j = 1.034000004

j = 0.034000004

effective annual interest j = (1 + 0.034000004)² - 1 = 0.069156 = 6.9156%

to determine the nominal quarterly interest rate k we can use the future value formula:

$154,531.82 = $100,000 x (1 + k)²⁰

(1 + k)²⁰ = $154,531.82 / $100,000 = 1.5453182

²⁰√(1 + k)²⁰ = ²⁰√1.5453182

1 + k = 1.022

k = 0.022

effective annual interest k = (1 + 0.022)⁴ - 1 = 0.090946828 = 9.094682805%

at the end of year 1, the balance of fund C = $100,000 x (1 + 6.9156%) = $106,915.60

at the end of year 2, the balance of fund C = $106,915.60 x (1 + 9.094682805%) = $116,639.23

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported
