• Future Value: Compute the future value in year 9 of a $2,000 deposit in year 1 and another $1,500 deposit at the end of year 3 using a 10 percent interest rate.
• Future Value of an Annuity: What is the future value of a $900 annuity payment over five years if interest rates are 8 percent?
• Present Value: Compute the present value of a $2,000 deposit in year 1 and another $1,500 deposit at the end of year 3 if interest rates are 10 percent.
