After one​ year, the account contains ​$1325.09. What annual nominal rate compounded monthly has the account​ earned?

The annual nominal rate is ______%.

​(Round the final answer to two decimal places as needed. Round all intermediate values to six decimal places as​ needed.)

(C)

11. A family has a $92,529​, 25​-year mortgage at 6% compounded monthly.

1. Find the monthly payment and the total interest paid.
2. Suppose the family decides to add an extra​ $100 to its mortgage payment each month starting with the very first payment. How long will it take the family to pay off the​ mortgage? How much interest will the family​ save? 

12. An ordinary annuity pays 8.04​% compounded monthly.

1. A person deposits ​$100 monthly for 30 years and then makes equal monthly withdrawals for the next 15​ years, reducing the balance to zero. What are the monthly​ withdrawals? How much interest is earned during the entire​ 45-year process?
2. If the person wants to make withdrawals of 1,500 per month for the last 15​ years, how much must be deposited monthly for the first 30​ years?

13. A couple wishes to borrow money using the equity in their home for collateral. A loan company will loan them up to​ 70% of their equity. They purchased their home 10 years ago for ​$60,670. The home was financed by paying 15​% down and signing a 15​-year mortgage at 9​% on the unpaid balance. Equal monthly payments were made to amortize the loan over the 15​-year period. The net market value of the house is now​ $100,000. After making their 120th ​payment, they applied to the loan company for the maximum loan. How much​ (to the nearest​ dollar) will they​ receive?

Amount of​ loan: ​$_______

​(Round to the nearest​ dollar.)

14. A person purchased a ​$236,124 home 10 years ago by paying 15​% down and signing a​ 30-year mortgage at 9.9​% compounded monthly. Interest rates have dropped and the owner wants to refinance the unpaid balance by signing a new 20​-year mortgage at 5.4% compounded monthly. How much interest will refinancing​ save?

Money​ Saved: ​$______

​(Round to the nearest cent as​ needed.)

15. A discount electronics store offers to let you pay for a ​$1000 stereo in 12 equal ​$87 installments. The store claims that since you repay ​$1044 in 1​ year, the ​$87 finance charge represents a 4.4​% annual rate. This would be true if you repaid the loan in a single payment at the end of the year. But since you start repayment after 1​ month, this is an amortized​ loan, and 4.4​% is not the correct rate. What is the annual nominal compounding rate for this​ loan? Use graphical approximation techniques or an equation solver to approximate the interest rate. Express the answer as a percentage.

The actual annual nominal compounding rate for this loan is_______​%.
