Question
Suppose that a person deposits $500 in a savings account at the end of each year, starting now, for the next 12 years. If the bank pays 8% per year,
compounded annually, how much money will accumulate by the end of the 12-year period?
Repeat Problem for an interest rate of 6.25% per year, compounded annually?
Step 1
FV = PV * (1 + r)n
Where,
FV = Future Value
FV = 500 * (1 + 0.08)12
FV = 500 * (1.08)12
FV = 500 x 2.5182
FV = $1259.1
Step 2
If interest rate of 6.25% per year, compounded annually, the future value will be
PV = $500
r = 6.25% or 0.0625
n = 12 years
FV = 500 * (1 + 0.0625)12
FV = 500 * (1.0625)12
FV = 500 x 2.0699
FV = 1034.95
