Answer:
c. If a loan has a nominal annual rate of 7%, then the effective rate will never be less than 7%
CORRECT
as at least is recive 7% of the investment. If payment are made in shorter period (semiannually, quarterly, etc)
Then the effective rate will be higher, not lower.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. An investment that has a nominal rate of 6% with semiannual payments will have an effective rate that is smaller than 6%
FALSE the effective rate will be higher as there is compounding effect.
b. The present value of a 3-year, $150 ordinary annuity will exceed the present value of a 3-year, $150 annuity due
FALSE the annuity-due is discounted for one period less, as the payment are made at the beginning of the period therefore; his V is greater.
d. If a loan or investment has annual payments, then the effective, periodic, and nominal rates of interest will all be different
FALSE if it mades annual payments they will be equal
e. The proportion of the payment that goes toward interest on a fully amortized loan increases over time.
FALSE the interest will decrease over time as there is a portion of principal which is being paid each installment
