Question

You invest a single amount of $14,800 for 7 years at 15 percent. At the end of 7 years you take the proceeds and invest them for 14 years at 17 percent. How much will you have after 21 years

Answer 1

Answer:

Value of investment after 21 years = $354,608.11

Explanation:

The value of an amount invested at a certain rate of return for certain number of years where  interest compounded annually is known as the future value.

The future value of an investment can be determined using the future value formula. This formula is stated below:

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV - Future Value , PV- Present Value, r-rate of return, n- number of years

For the first round of investment 15% for 7 years, future value would be:

FV = 14,800 × (1.15)^(7) =   39,368.29  

Second round of investing 17% for 14 year, future value would be

FV = 39,368.29 × (1.17)^(14)= 354,608.11

Future Value =$354,608.11

Value of investment after 21 years = $354,608.11
