Problema Solution

If 9,000 is deposited in a bank account paying 6% compounded monthly, what amount will be in the account in four years?

Answer provided by our tutors

Amount = $9000

Rate of interest = 6%

Time = 4 years

 

Since the interest is compounded monthly

effective rate of interest = 6/12 =  0.5%

Effective time = 4*12 = 48 months

Amount after 4 years = Amount*(1+r/100)^time

=> Amount = 9000*(1+0.5/100)^48 = 11434.40
