Compound Interest
A total of $20,000 is invested in different assets.
45% is invested in a Treasury bond for 3 years at 4.35 APR compounded annually.
For this investment, the principal is P = 0.45*$20,000 = $9,000.
The compounding period is yearly, thus the interest rate is:
i = 4.35 / 100 = 0.0435
The duration (in periods) is n = 3
Calculate the final value with the formula:
![M=P_{}(1+i)^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=M%3DP_%7B%7D%281%2Bi%29%5En)
Substituting:
![\begin{gathered} M=\$9,000_{}(1+0.0435)^3 \\ M=\$9,000\cdot1.136259062875 \\ M=\$10,226.33 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20M%3D%5C%249%2C000_%7B%7D%281%2B0.0435%29%5E3%20%5C%5C%20M%3D%5C%249%2C000%5Ccdot1.136259062875%20%5C%5C%20M%3D%5C%2410%2C226.33%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
The second investment is a CD at 3.75% APR for 3 years compounded annually. The parameters for the calculations are as follows:
P = 15% of $20,000 = $3,000
i = 3.75 / 100 = 0.0375
n = 3
Calculating:
![\begin{gathered} M=\$3,000_{}(1+0.0375)^3 \\ M=\$3,000\cdot1.116771484375 \\ M=\$3,350.31 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20M%3D%5C%243%2C000_%7B%7D%281%2B0.0375%29%5E3%20%5C%5C%20M%3D%5C%243%2C000%5Ccdot1.116771484375%20%5C%5C%20M%3D%5C%243%2C350.31%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
The third investment is in a stock plan. The initial value of the investment is
P = 20% of $20,000 = $4,000
By the end of the first year, the stock plan increased by 8%, thus its value is:
M1 = $4000 * 1.2 = $4,800
By the end of the second year, the stock plan decreased by 4$, thus the value is:
M2 = $4,800 * 0.96 = $4,608
Finally, the stock plan increases by 6%, resulting in a final balance of:
M3 = $4,608 * 1.06 = $4,884.48
Finally, the last investment is in a savings account at 2.90% APR compounded annually for 3 years (not mentioned, but assumed).
P = $20,000 - $9,000- $3,000 - $4,000 = $4,000
i = 2.90 / 100 = 0.029
n = 3
Calculating:
![\begin{gathered} M=\$4,000_{}(1+0.029)^3 \\ M=\$4,000\cdot1.089547389 \\ M=\$4,358.19 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20M%3D%5C%244%2C000_%7B%7D%281%2B0.029%29%5E3%20%5C%5C%20M%3D%5C%244%2C000%5Ccdot1.089547389%20%5C%5C%20M%3D%5C%244%2C358.19%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
To summarize, the final balances for each type of investment at the end of the third year are:
Investment 1; $10,226.33
Investment 2: $3,350.31
Investment 3: $4,884.48
Investment 4: $4,358.19
Total balance: $22,819.32
