Question

Your grandpa doesn't trust "young 'uns" so you are set to inherit a $1,000,000 trust fund on your 50th birthday. Your Grandpa also doesn't like banks so he has buried the cash somewhere on his 40-acre farm in a location that will be revealed to you by his lawyer since Grandpa will not be around when you turn 50. If you could possibly get your hands on it now (when you are 20), you could put it in a bank at 6% annual interest. If you were able to dig up the money now, how much would you have when you turn 50?

Answer 1

FV= $5,743,491.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Present value (PV)= $1,000,000

Number of periods (n)= 30 years

Annual interest= 6% = 0.06

To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 1,000,000*(1.06^30)

FV= $5,743,491.17
