Time Value of Money
ANSWER:
Here, present value(PV)=$125000
Interest rate(r)=12%
=0.12
Number of years(n)=5
Compounding period(m)= 12
We know,
FV=PV(1+r/m)^nm
FV=1,25,000(1+.12/12)^5*12
FV=1,25,000*(1.01)^60
FV=1,25,000*1.816
FV= 227087.087
So, the future value is $227087.087

QUESTION 2: You have $2000 to invest. You decide to invest
it for 7 years in an account that pays you an interest of 6%.
How much will your investment grow to in 3 years if the
interest is compounded quarterly?
ANSWER:
Here, present value(PV)=$2000
Interest rate(r)=6%
=0.06
Number of years(n)=7
Compounding periods(m)=4
We know,
FV=PV(1+r/m)^nm
FV=2000(1+.06/4)^7*4
FV=2000*(1.015)^28
FV=2000*1.5172
FV=3034.444
So, the future value is $3034.444

ANSWER:
Here, present value(PV)=$12000
Interest rate(r)=10%
=0.10
Number of years(n)=5
Compounding periods(m)=2
We know,
FV=PV(1+r/m)^nm
FV=12000(1+.10/2)^5*2
FV=12000*(1.05)^10
FV=12000*1.6288
FV=19546.735
So, the future value is $19546.735
