                          Interest Factors

Periods          6%       7%          8%                  9%            10%             11 %

1                 1.0600      1.0700     1.0800        1.0900     1.1000        1.1100

2                1.1236      1.1449         1.1664         1.1881      1.2100        1.2321

3                1.1910       1.2250      1.2597         1.2950     1.3310         1.3676

4                1.2625      1.3108     1.3605          1.4116       1.4641          1.5181

1)

Future value paying simple interest = Principal + [( principal * interest) * investment period]

Future value paying simple interest = $2,000 + [ ( $2,000 * 9%) * 3]

Future value paying simple interest = $2,000 + 540

Future value paying simple interest = $2,540

2)

Future value paying compound interest = Present value * ( 1 + interest)n

Future value paying compound interest = $2,000 * ( 1 + 0.09)3

Future value paying compound interest = $2,000 * 1.295029

Future value paying compound interest = $2,590.058

3)

Difference = $2,590.058 - 2,540

Difference = $50.058
