You deposit $3000 each year into an account earning 2% interest compounded annually. How much will you have in the account in 20 years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$72891.1094

Step-by-step explanation:

This method of saving is called sinking fund.

Future value (FV) =  A*([tex]\frac{[(1+r)^{n} - 1]}{r}[/tex])

Where A is the amortization, r is the rate and n the number of years.

A = $3000

r = 2% = 0.02

n = 20

FV = 3000 * [tex](\frac{[(1.02)^{20} - 1]}{0.02})[/tex]

     = 3000 * 24.2973698

     = 72891.1094

FV  = $ 72891.1094

The amount that would be in the account after 20 years is $72891.1094
