Present Value___

Explanation / Answer

We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.

1.

A=$16500*(1.11)^12

=$16500*3.498450597

=$57724.43(Approx).

2.A=$16500*(1.08)^15

=$16500*3.172169114

=$52340.79(Approx).

3.

A=$16500*(1.06)^25

=$16500*4.29187072

=$70815.87(Approx).

4.

We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/200)^2n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.

Hence

A=$16500(1+0.06/2)^(2*20)

=$16500*3.262037792

=$53823.62(Approx).
