Question

If you deposit an amount of $1000 today (January 1st) and continue depositing into the account an amount growing by 5% per annum at the end of each subsequent year for five years, what balance will you have in the account at the end of the 5th year? (r = 10% p.a.)

$ 3,150
$4,150
$5,150
$6,150

Answer 1

$5,525.63

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)

B = [(1 + r)^n] - 1

R = interest rate

n = number of years

((1.05)^5 - 1) / 0.05 = 5.525631

$1000 x 5.525631 = $5,525.63
