Find the future value and compound interest if £13500 is invested for 7 years at a rate of 15% per annum compounded monthly.
**
compound interest formula: A=P(1+i)^n, P=initial investment, i=interest rate per period, A=amount after n periods.
For given problem:
P=£13500
period=month
i=.15/12=.0125
n=7*12=84
..
A=13500(1+.0125)^84
A=13500(1.0125)^84
A≈£38328
Future value=£38328
