Question

Rusty Industries has decided to save $50,000 a year for two years and then increase that amount to $80,000 for an additional three years. Which one of these formulas will correctly compute the future value of these savings as of Year 5 at a rate of 7 percent

Answer 1

FVA5 = [$50,000 * (1.075 -1) / 0.07] + [$30,000 * (1.073 - 1) / 0.07]

Step-by-step explanation:

Future value is value of asset or security at a later date in future with incorporating the effects of growth rate. Rusty Industries have decided to save $50,000 which will then grow to $80,000 for three years. The year 5 rate is 7% which will be used to compute the future value of savings.
