Problema Solution

Determine the present value P you must invest to have the future value A at simple interest rate r after time t.

A = $4,000.00, r = 11%, t = 26 weeks

(round to the nearest cent)

Answer provided by our tutors

a=p(1+r/n)^nt

P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)

r  = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)

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

A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

n  =  number of times the interest is compounded per year

4000=p(1+0.11)^0.5

p=3796.63

26 weeks=0.5 yr approx =6 month
