Answer:
0. $1,000 1. $1,045 2. $1,092.03 3. $1,141.17 4. $1,192.52. 5. $1,246.18 6. $1,302.26 7. $1,360.86 8. $1,422.10
Explanation:
First you start with the beginning balance of $1,000 dollars, then you multiply that by 1.045 to get $1,045 dollars after one year. Then you multiply $1,045 by 1.045 to get $1,092.025 (monetarily correct, it would be $1,092.03) after the second year. Then you multiply $1,092.025 (keeping it un-rounded for precision) by 1.045 to get $1,141.16612 after the third year. Then you multiply $1141.16612 by 1.045 to get $1,192.5186 after the fourth year. Multiply $1,192.5186 by 1.045 to get $1,246.18193 after the fifth year. Multiply $1,246.18193 by 1.045 to get $1,302.26012 after the sixth year. Multiply $1,302.26012 by 1.045 to get $1,360.86182 after the seventh year. Multiply $1,360.86182 by 1.045 to get $1,422.10061 after the eighth year.
