detriment of the insurer, than when
uninsured.

Payments

Non-Annual Payments


We need to incorporate the possibility of nonannual payments into our financial calculations.
Fortunately this is simple...



You need to change the payments per year (P/Y) to
12 for monthly payments.
NOTE: HP users, your calculator is set to 12 by
default.
Then do the problem just as you would for
annual payments.

Future Value with a Calculator
How much do we have after 3 years if we
save $200 per month beginning next month
and the interest rate is 12%?

Input 36, Press N (3 x 12 = 36)
2.
Input 12, Press I/Y
3.
Input 200, press +/-, press PMT (you get -200)
4.
Press CPT, FV to get $8,615.38
NOTE: N is the number of periods, so if you save
weekly for 2 years, N = 2 x 52 = 104.

Ethical Dilemma
You teach personal finance at a local community college. The
state in which you teach requires proof of liability insurance in
order to renew your license plates. During the discussion of this
topic in class, several students admit that they obtain a liability
policy just prior to the renewal of their license plates and then
cancel it immediately thereafter. They do this because they know
that the state has no system for is a following up on the
cancellation of the liability policies once the license plates are
issued. These students, who are out of work as a result of a local
plant shutdown, indicate that they cannot afford to maintain the
insurance, but they must have access to cars for transportation.
a. Discuss whether you consider the conduct of the students to be
unethical.
b. How does the conduct of these students potentially impact other
members of the class who maintain liability insurance on their
vehicles?
