The Design Team just decided to save $1,500 a month for the next 5 years as a safety net for recessionary periods. The money will be set aside in a separate savings account which pays 4.5 percent interest compounded monthly. The first deposit will be made today. What would today's deposit amount have to be if the firm opted for one lump sum deposit today that would yield the same amount of savings as the monthly deposits after 5 years?

You need some money today and the only friend you have that has any is your miserly friend. He agrees to loan you the money you need, if you make payments of $30 a month for the next six months. In keeping with his reputation, he requires that the first payment be paid today. He also charges you 2 percent interest per month. How much money are you borrowing?
