Investments Suppose $10,000 is invested at an annual rate
\n" ); document.write( "of 5% for 10 years. Find the future value if interest is compounded
\n" ); document.write( "as follows.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Learn the compound interest formula:
\n" ); document.write( "A = P\"%281%2B%28r%2Fn%29%29%5Ent\"
\n" ); document.write( "Where: A = Final value; P=amt invested; r = interest rate in decimals; n = number of times compounded per year; t = time in years
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In this problem; P = 10000; r = .05; t = 10 yr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a. Annually: n = 1
\n" ); document.write( "A = 10000\"%281%2B%28.05%2F1%29%29%5E%2810%2A1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 10000*\"%281.05%29%5E10\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 10000 * 1.62889; find (1.05)^10 with good calc
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A = 16,288.94 value in 10 yrs compounded annually
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b. Quarterly n = 4
\n" ); document.write( "A = 10000\"%281%2B%28.05%2F4%29%29%5E%2810%2A4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 10000\"%281%2B.0125%29%5E40\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 10000*\"%281.0125%29%5E40\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 10000 * 1.64362;
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A = 16436.19 value in 10 yrs compounded quarterly
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if you can do the last two, using the first two as examples
\n" ); document.write( "c. Monthly; n = 12
\n" ); document.write( "d. Daily (365 days) n = 365
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
