Bare with me a minute, I am still trying to figure it out. Here is what I have so far.
Answer:
<u>The future value of the investment after 10 years is $ 29,240.53</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Principal = $ 17,500
Interest rate = 5.2% = 0.052 compounded semiannually
Time = 10 years = 20 semesters
2. What is the future value of the investment after 10 years?
Let's use the formula of the Future Value, to calculate it for this investment:
FV = P * (1 + r) ⁿ
Let's replace with the real values:
FV = 17,500 * (1 + 0.052/2)²⁰
FV = 17,500 * 1.670887521
<u>FV = 29,240.53</u>
1) The accumulated amount after six years and the total interest that Trevor will receive if the interest rate is 4.5% per annum simple interest after 6 years are <u>R25,400</u> and <u>R5,400</u> respectively.
2) The accumulated amount after six years and the total interest that Trevor will receive if the interest rate is 4.5% per annum compound interest after 6 years are<u> R26,045.20</u> and <u>R6,045.20</u> respectively.
<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3><h3>Simple Interest:</h3>
Principal = R20,000
Investment period = 6 years
Interest rate = 4.5%
Simple interest for 6 years = R5,400 ($20,000 x 6 x 4.5%)
Principal + Interest = R25,400 (R20,000 + R5,400)
<h3>Compound Interest:</h3>
Principal = R20,000
Investment period = 6 years
Interest rate = 4.5%
N (# of periods) = 6 years
I/Y (Interest per year) = 4.5%
PV (Present Value) = R20,000
PMT (Periodic Payment) = R0
<u>Results</u>:
FV = R26,045.20
Total Interest = R6,045.2
