Answer:
=$337.43
Explanation:
The value of each of the coins after 50 years is the future value after 50 years at their respective interest rate.
The formula for future value is FV = PV × (1+r)n
For the first coin at 5.2 percent,
Fv = 100 x ( 1 + 5.2/100 ) 50
Fv =100 x (1+ 0.052) 50
Fv = 100 x 12. 61208795
Fv = $1,261. 21
For the second coin at 5.7 percent,
Fv = 100 x (1 + 5.7 /100)50
Fv =100 x (1 + 0.057 )50
Fv = 100 x 15.98
Fv = 1, 598. 64
the difference in value will be
=$1598.64 - $1,261.21
=$337.43
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Most interest rates in the economy are not set by federal reserve. For example, banks decide what interests to pay different kind of deposits and charge loans of different risks on their own (with consideration for competition and profitability).
What the Fed does is set important rates (discount rate and funds rate) that influence other interest rates in the economy.
