Answer 1

Answer:

1) FV =7012.76

2) FV =26408

3) FV  ==61565.31

4) FV =18416.24

Explanation:

The  formula used for calculation of future value for given present investment is given as

FV = PV ( 1 + I )ⁿ

1) for PV = 5000, n = 5 year, I =  7%

 

FV = 5000*(1.07)^5

FV =7012.76

2) for PV = 7200, n = 15 year, I =  9%

FV= 7250*(1.09)^15

FV =26408

3) for PV = 9000, n = 33 year, I =  6%

FV= 9000*(1.06)^33

FV  ==61565.31

4) for PV = 12000, n = 8 year, I =  5.5%

FV = 12000*(1.055)^8

FV =18416.24
