James olds buys a four-year 1000000 certificate of deposit


James Olds buys a four-year, $1,000,000 certificate of deposit from the Second National Bank. James will receive 5% interest in year 1; 5.5% in year 2; 6% in year three; and 6.5% interest in year 4. If James “redeems” this certificate before the maturity date, he would receive a cumulative 4.5% annual rate of interest of 4.5%. The Bank has ascertained that less than one percent of its depositors redeem their certificates before the maturity date. The bank asks its accountant how to accrue and measure such interest payment obligations.
