Question

George deposits $3,500 at 3.25% interest compounded monthly. What will his ending balance be after 5 years?

Answer 1

FV= $4,117.1

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment (PV)= $3,500

Number of periods= 5*12= 60 months

Interest rate (i)= 0.0325/12= 0.00271

To calculate the Future Value, we need to use the following formula:

FV=PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 3,500*1.00271^60

FV= $4,117.1
