Problema Solution

suppose that 60,000 is invested at 9% interest. find the amount of money in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded annually.

Answer provided by our tutors

A = ? the future value after 10 year

P = $60,000 is the principal

t = 3 year the number of years

m = 1 the number of compounding periods per year

n = m*t = 3 the number of compounding periods

r = 0.09 or 9% the annual interest rate

i = r/m = 0.09 interest rate per period


A = P(1 + i)^n


A = 60000(1 + 0.09)^3


A = $77,701.74
