Question

GRADE 11 MATH

Answer 1

The amount that was invested 17 years ago is $2064.25.

The interest earned is  $7935.75.

What is the amount invested 17 years ago?

The formula that would used to determine the amount that was invested 17 years ago is:

P = FV / (1 + r)^nm

Where:

• FV = Future value = 10,000
• P = Present value
• R = interest rate = 9.5 / 2 = 4.75%
• m = number of compounding = 2
• N = number of years = 17

10,000 / (1.0475)^(17 x 2) = $2064.25

Interest earned = 10,000 - 2064.25 = $7935.75
