Question 710864: You deposit $1400 in an account that pays 6% interest compounded yearly how do you set up an equation for it

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to know the "Time Value of Money" equation to do this.
FV=PV%281%2Bi%29%5En
Where:
FV=Future Value
PV=Present Value
i=interest rate
n=number of compounding periods
-----------------
For your problem, you did not indicate at what time you wanted to know how much money you have, so I can't solve it. But to set it up, the equation is:
FV=1400%281%2B0.06%29%5En
With this equation, you can figure out the future value for n compounding periods.
