The first 6 pages of this listig describe errors that appear i both the origial pritig ad the Secod Pritig of the Sprig 2017 Editio. The remaiig items (begiig o the 7 th page) apply oly to the origial pritig; they have bee corrected i the Secod Pritig. Page M1-57, solutio to Problem 1. The equatios should be: e l Page M2-21, ear the bottom of the page (before Formula (2.41) The equatio o the Total lie should be: 1 t0 v t v i a v i Page M2-50, Exercise (2.108). The aswer should be 17, (ot 1,789.75). Page M2-70, solutio to Problem 13. Replace the last lie with: a) The total is 10,000 4, , b) To fid the aual rate of retur, set N=5, PV=-10,000, ad FV=14, The CPT I/Y= The rate of retur is 7.729%. Page M3-9, Exercise (3.14). The balace show i the first lie of the solutio should be 19, (ot 19,363.82). However, the equatio ad the aswer are correct as show. Page M3-27, solutio to Problem 3. The iterest rate is 7.2%, ot 8%.

12 Errors i the Origial Pritig of the Sprig 2017 Editio The items o this page ad the followig pages apply to the origial pritig of the Sprig 2017 Editio of the FM Maual. These errors have bee corrected i the secod pritig. Page M1-48, Problem 7. I the last lie, replace d(4) with (4) Page M1-65, solutio to Problem 1.

I that case, you would eter the same values: N = 12, I/Y = 4.5, PV = 5,000, FV = 20,000, ad CPT PMT = is the amout you would eed to deposit at the ed of each year. Sice this problem ivolves deposits made oe year earlier (at the begiig of each year), the 1 / 1 i : deposits should be smaller by a factor of Page M2-15, aswer to Exercise 2.32 Replace with Page M2-34, aswer to Exercise 2.82 Replace 2, with 2, Page M2-52, equatios at bottom of page The first lie should read as follows: t t t Ia t v dt t 0 2 t v v t 0

Page M9-21 I the last formula o the page, replace R a v 1 with R a v 1. Page M9-37, last paragraph I the ext-to-last lie, replace 4.5% 4% + 3% = 3.5% with 4.5% - 4% + 3% = 3.5%. Page PE5-8, Problem 33. The last setece should read as follows: Calculate the preset value of the perpetuity at a 3.4% aual effective iterest rate. Page PE6-17 The last 3 paragraphs should read as follows: s The last paymet icludes this outstadig balace plus iterest for oe period. So the last paymet is (1 i) I total, there are 99 paymets of 1,060.11, the 158 paymets of 1,460.11, ad a fial paymet of The total amout paid is 336,215.56, ad the amout of iterest paid is 336, ,000 = 136, This problem ca also be solved etirely o the BA II Plus: N=360, I/Y= , PV=200,000, ad FV=0. CPT PMT = -1, N=261 (o. of pmts. remaiig after 99 pmts.) CPT PV = 170, PMT=-1,460.11, CPT N = N=158, CPT FV = , , , , , , Page PE11-18, Problem 19. The 5 th lie of formulas should read as follows: c 1 s 1 s 1 s 1 s s 100
