Question

Imagine Fry knew in advance that he would be frozen for 1000 years and wanted to have $9,999,999,999 when he thaws out. How much would Fry need to deposit in his account paying 2% APR compounded quarterly before falling into the cryogenic freezer

Answer 1

$21.66

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the present value of $9,999,999,999.

The formula to be used is :

P = FV (1 + r/m) ^-mn

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

M = number of compounding

= $9,999,999,999 ( 1 + 0.02 / 4 ) ^-4000 = $21.66
