Mr. Woodley invested $1200 at 5% simple interest at the beginning of each year for a period of 8 years. Find the total accumulated value of all the investments at the end of the 8-year period.

It would be helpful if u used a geometric or arithmetic sequence formula.

Answer:

$1680

Explanation:

PV = $1200

i = 5%

n = 8

Simple interest formula:

FV = PV (1 + i × n)

FV = 1200 (1 + 5% x 8)

FV = $1680
