Question 205413: compounding periods example:
the investment is paid at 8%, compounded quarterly, for 2 years, 1,000 investment and its future value 1171.66.
so i took {1+ 0.08}^4= (1.04)^4-1171.66 (((((cant type the problem right
over 4 on this screen)))))
anyway, can these formulas be done on a traditional 10 key adding machine or do i need a different calculator. i can not arrive at this answer.
i have multiplied, divided, subtracted, hit the wall, cursed, slapped the fridge, i just can not get the answer to come out and i think i know how to but i think i am missing a step on the term and power calc. i could sure use an explanation on how to properly arrive at the answer. thanks.
