Question 1190108: You invest $10,000 in Rapid Growth Funds, which appreciate by 5% per year, with yields reinvested quarterly. By how much (in dollars) will your investment have grown after 4 years? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the 5% interest rate per year is being compounded quarterly.
the interest rate per quarter will be 5/4 = 1.25%.
4 years * 4 quarters per year will b equal to 16 quarters/
if the interest rate is 1.25% per quarter, then the growth factor is equal to 1.0125 per quarter.
the future value of he 10,000 will be equal to 10,000 * (1.0125) ^ 16 = 12198.89548.
