The answer is $8,030
Step-by-step explanation:
Present Value (PV) = $5,000
Future Value(FV) = ?
Interest rate(r) = 7 percent
Number of years (N) = 7 years
The formula for future value is:
FV = PV(1+ r)^n
= $5,000(1+0.07)^7
$5,000(1.07)^7
$5,000 x 1.605781476
=$8,028.91
Approximately $8,030
Alternatively, we can use a Financial calculator:
N= 7; I/Y= 7, PV= -5,000 CPT FV= $8,028.91
Approximately $8,030
