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 = 5000.00,r = 11,5%, t = 26 (round to the nearst cent)

Answer provided by our tutors

The formula used to work out simple interest is;

A=P(1+in)

By substituting the values we have into the variables:

5000 = P(1+0.115 * 26)    ==> P = 5000/3.99  ==> 1253.13 answer
