Question 1041191: 9. Consider a CD paying 3.6% APR compounded monthly.
a) Find the periodic interest rate
_______
b) Find the future value of the CD if you invest $3250 for a term of four years.
answer A and B Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3% is the apr.
this is equal to an annual interest rate of .03.
divide that by 12 to get the monthly interest rate of .03/12 = .0025.
that's your periodic interest rate.
formula for future value of a present amount is:
f = p * (1+r)^n
f is the future value
p is the present amount
r is the interest rate per time period.
n is the number of time periods.
your time periods are months.
the interest rate per month is the annual interest rate / 12.
the number of time periods is the number of years * 12.
