Answer: Future Value FV = 169,500
Explanation:
The information given to us are;
Present value PV = 113000
Interest R = 10% = 0.01
number of years T = 5
Future value FV = ?
So using the formula
FV = PV * [1 + (R * T)],
We input our value
FV = 113000 * [ 1 + ( 0.1 * 5) ]
FV = 113000 * [ 1 + 0.5]
FV = 113000 * 1.5
FV = 169500
