(a) Let time t be measured in years. Assume that the force of interest per unit time is given by \delta (t)=(\alpha +2t)(\alpha 2t) where \alpha is a constant to be found.
If the accumulation of an investment of 1 unit of currency from t =0 to t =1 is A(0,1)=1, find the general formula A(0, t) for all t.
(b) Now let \kappa ,\beta and \gamma be constants that may be chosen to model a smoothly decreasing or increasing force of interest given by \delta (t)=\kappa +\beta /(1+\gamma e\beta t )
Show that v(t) is given by
v(t)={1/(1+\gamma )}e(\kappa +\beta )t +{\gamma /(1+\gamma )}e\kappa t (3)
Let \beta =0.12,\kappa =0.08, and \gamma =0.5. Find the present value of 100 due in 10 years time.
