Problema Solution

Determine the present value, P, you must invest to have the future value, A, at simple interest rate r after time t. a=$6000, r=6.5%, t=3 years

Answer provided by our tutors

P = ?

A = $6,000

r = 0.065 or 6.5%

t = 3 years

A = P*r*t

P = A/(rt)

P = 6000/(0.065*3)

P = $30,769.23

The present value is $30,769.23.
