The future value of the original investment is $12,968.71
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for compound interest, including principal sum is
, where:
- A is the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
- P is the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
- r is the annual interest rate (decimal)
- n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t
- t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for
Jesse is making a $5,000 investment that will be compounded annually at 10% for the next 10 years.
We need to find the future value of the original investment
∵ Jesse is making a $5,000 investment
∴ P = 5000
∵ The interest rate is 10%
∴ r = 10% = 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
∵ The interest is compounded annually
∴ n = 1
∵The time of investment is 10 years
∴ t = 10
- Substitute these values in the formula above
∵
∴
∴
∴ A = 12968.71
∴ The future value is $12,968.71
The future value of the original investment is $12,968.71
