Determined the amount of an investment if $96,000 is invested at an interest rate of 5.2% compounded daily for 3 years

Answer provided by our tutors

P = $96,000 the principal

t = 3 years

r = 0.052 or 5.2%

m = 360 compounding periods per year

n = m*t = 360*3 = 1080 compounding periods

i = r/m = 0.052/360

A = the future (maturity) value

A = P(1 + i)^n

A = 96000(1 + 0.052/360)^1080
