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
- r is the annual interest rate in 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
∵ You want to have $5000 in your savings account in 2 years
∴ A = 5000
∴ t = 2
∵ The account pays 3% annual interest, compounded monthly
∴ r = 3% = 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03
∴ n = 12 ⇒ compounded monthly
- Substitute these values in the formula above
∴
∴
∴
- Divide both sides by
∴ P = 4709.18
