Question

You are scheduled to receive $34,000 in two years. When you receive it, you will invest it for 7 more years at 7.5 percent per year. How much will you have in 9 years

Answer 1

Answer: $65186.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the individual is scheduled to receive $34,000 in two years and will then invest it for 7 more years at 7.5 percent per year. The amount that the person will have in 9 years will be:

FV = PV(1 + rate)^n

where,

PV = present value = $34000

Rate = 7.5% = 0.075

n = number of years = 7

FV = 34000 × (1 + 7.5%)^9

FV = 34000 × (1 + 0.075)^9

FV = 34000 × 1.075^9

FV = 34000 × 1.91724

FV = $65186.16

The amount in 9 years will be $65186.16
