Yesterday, 16,000 dollars was invested at an APR of 3.5% compounded daily. Write a numerical expression that would compute the value of the investment after 30 years.

Use the formula
A = P(1 + r/n)^(n)
A = 16,000(1 + 0.035/360)^(360)
Note: There are 360 months in 30 years.

$16000 is invested at an APR of 3.5% compounded daily. Write a numerical expression that would compute the value of the investment after 30 years. 
Correct answer: If 360 days are used to represent a year, and A is used for Future Value, we then get: 

If 365 days are used to represent a year, then just change 360 to 365.

That's it!!
