how to find the balance when you have $20,000 deposit earning 3.5% compound quarterly, after 10 years
:
The compound interest formula: A+=+P%281%2B%28r%2Fn%29%29%5E%28nt%29
Where:
A = amt after t yrs
P = initial amt (principal)
r = interest rate in decimal form
n = no. of compounding periods per year
t = no. of yrs
:
In this problem
A+=+20000%281%2B%28.035%2F4%29%29%5E%284%2A10%29
A+=+20000%281%2B.00875%29%5E40
A+=+20000%281.00875%29%5E40
find the value of 1.00875^40 on a calc
A = 20000*1.41691
A = $28,338.18 after 10 yrs
