If you deposit $13,500 in the bank today, what is its future value at the end of twenty years if it is invested in an account paying 4.20% interest (annual compounding, which is the same as APR)?

Respuesta :

The answer is $30,740.

Given,

The time period for which money is invested = N = 20

Interest Rate at which money is invested = i = 4.20%

Periodic Payment per period = PMT = 0

Present value of the money invested = PV = $13,500

Future value = FV

Since the formula for FV is:

FV =  (PV) × (1+i)^N

Now substituting the given values in the above formula of future value we get,

    = ($13,500) × (1+0.042)^20

    =  ($13,500) × (1.042)^20

    = $13,500 × 2.2769546

    = $30,738.88766

   = $30,740 (After approximation to the nearest tens)

Hence, future value at the end of twenty years, if it is invested in an account paying 4.20% interest (annual compounding), is $30,740
