The Red River Floodway is designed to reduce the impact of floods in Winnipeg, by diverting water around the city. It was disparagingly known as "Duff's Ditch" after Premier Duff Roblin due to its high expense and seeming extravagance. It was started in 1962 and cost $62 million dollars to complete and was designed to stop a flood of the century (1 in 100 years!).
What is the value of that $62 million today (in 2020)? Assume the $62 million was paid in 1962 and annual compounding and an annual interest rate of 5%.
$867 million
$900 million
$950 million
$1,000 million
$1,050 million
Let's assume the Manitoba government paid for the Red River Floodway with a 100 year loan. The loan has an interest rate of 6% compounded monthly with equal monthly payments. The first payment was made on January 31,1963. How much does the Manitoba government owe now in February 1,2020(it just completed a payment on January 31)?
