Answer 1

Answer:

$ 67,196

$132482

$88,727

$131,761

Explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r/m)^mn

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years  

m =number of compounding

$50,000 x ( 1 + 0.06/2)^10 = $67,196

$60,000 x ( 1 + 0.08/4)^40 = $132,482

$40,000 x (1 + 0.1/12)^96 = $88,727

$80,000 x ( 1 + 0.05 /12) ^120 = $131,761
