Question

For each of the following, compute the future value (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)):
Present Value Years Interest Rate Future Value
$2,050 12 12 %
$ 8,352 6 10
72,355 13 11
179,796 7 7

Answer 1

Explanation:

The computation of the future value is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

In the first case,

Future value = $2,050 × (1 + 0.12)^12

                     = $2,050 × 3.895975993

                     = $7,986.75

In the second case,

Future value = $8,352 × (1 + 0.10)^6

                     = $8,352 × 1.771561

                     = $14,796.08

In the third case,

Future value =  $72,355× (1 + 0.11)^13

                     = $72,355 × 3.883280163

                     = $280,974.74

In the fourth case,

Future value = $179,796 × (1 + 0.07)^7

                     = $179,796 × 1.605781476

                     = $288,713.09
