Question

Financial contracts involving investments, mortgages, loans, and so on are based on either a fixed or a variable interest rate. Assume that fixed interest rates are used throughout this question. Ava deposited $1,300 in a savings account at her bank. Her account will earn an annual simple interest rate of 8.2%. If she makes no additional deposits or withdrawals, how much money will she have in her account in 5 years

Answer 1

She would have $1,833 in her account after 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal = $1,300

Interest rate = 8.2%

Term of loan = 5 years

Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Term of loan

= $1,300 × 0.082 × 5 = $533

The amount of money she would get after 5 years = $1,300 + $533 = $1,833
