Question

Assume that you purchase a 6-year, 8% certificate of deposit for $1,000. If interest is compounded annually, what will be the value of the certificate when it matures

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 1,586.8743

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what will be the value of the certificate when it matures

Compounded annually

Principal P= 1000

Rate r=0.08

Period n = 6

Using this formula

A = P (1+r)^n

Let plug in the formula

1000 (1.08)^6

= 1586.8743

Therefore what will be the value of the certificate when it matures is $1586.8743
