Suppose you could make a single "lump sum" deposit of $7694,
in an investment that provides an Annual Percentage Rate(APR) of 3% compounded monthly.
Determine the Future Value(FV) of the investment after 18 years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Future value 

    f = p*(1 + r)^n


    p is the principal amount,
    r is the interest rate per time period,
    n is the number of time periods.


In your problem:

    p = 7694  dollars,
    r = 0.03/12 = 0.0025 per month,
    n = 12*18 = 216 months.


Formula becomes f = 7694%2A%281+%2B+0.0025%29%5E216.


Use your calculator to get  f = 13,194.06  dollars.    ANSWER

Solved.
