Problema Solution

What is the future value of $500 per year for 10 years compounded annually at 5 percent

Answer provided by our tutors

R = $500 the periodic payment

t = 10 years

i = 0.05 or 5% the interest rate per period

n = 10 total number of periods

S = future value


S = R[((1 + i)^n - 1)/i]


S = 500[((1 + 0.05)^10 - 1)/0.05]


S = $6,288.95
