Problema Solution

Find the accumnlated amount A if the principal P = $2,000 is invested at the interest rate of r = 6% per year for t = years, compound annually

Answer provided by our tutors

P = $2,000 the principal amount


r = 0.06 or 6% annual rate of interest (as a decimal)


t = number of years the amount is deposited or borrowed for.


A = amount of money accumulated after t years, including interest


n = 1 number of times the interest is compounded per year


A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)


A = 2000(1 + 0.6/1)(1*t)


A = 2000(1.6)^t
