A) $975.23 B) $950.00 C) $1000.00 D) $1100.00

Explanation / Answer

1) We have given P=$480,t=4years,r=12%=0.12

To find amount we use formula is

A=P(1+r/n)nt where n is number of times compounded per year,t is time in years,A is amount,P is principal amount

A=480(1+(0.12/4))4*4

A=480(1+(0.12/4))16

A=$770.26

answer is C) $770.26

2) We have given FV=4877.76,t=19 years,r=6%=0.06

We know the formula is

PV=FV/ert where FV is future value, PV is present value

PV=4877.76/e^(0.06*19)

PV=$1560.00

answer is B) $1560.00

3) We have given P=$1600,t=14 years,r=9%=0.09

We have the formula is A=Pert

A=Pert

A=1600*e^(0.09*14)=$5640.67

A=$5640.67

answer is B) $5640.67

4) We have given FV=1215.51,t=2years,r=10%=0.10,n=2 periods for semiannually

To find present value we use formula is

FV=PV(1+r/n)nt where n is number of periods ,FV is Future value,PV is Present value

1215.51=PV(1+(0.10/2))^4

PV=1215.51/(1+(0.10/2))^4 =$1000.00

answer is C) $1000.00
