Question

Suppose an investor deposits $19,000 into a savings account for 7 years at 9% interest Find the total amount of money in the account if the interest is: Compounded annually, then the investment is worth $18, 017.53 after 7 years. Compounded quarterly, then the investment is worth after 7 years. Compounded monthly, then the investment is worth after 7 years. Compounded weekly, then the investment is worth after 7 years. Compounded daily, then the investment is worth after years 7. Round your answers to the nearest cent. Use a dollar sign to indicate that your answer is a monetary value.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Given that

Principal value PV= $ 19000

Rate of interest = 9% = 0.09

time t= 7 year

We can investment worth = PV (1+r/n)nt

= 19000 ( 1+0.09/n)7n

Here n is varying according to situations

Case1 when compunded annually n = 1

Investment worth = 19000 ( 1+0.09)7 = $34,732.74

Case 2:

when compunded quaterly n = 4

Investment worth = 19000 ( 1+0.09/4)7*4 = $35,426.35

Case 3:

when compunded montly n = 12

Investment worth = 19000 ( 1+0.09/12)7*12 = $35,590.84

Case4:

when compunded weekly n = 52 ( let number of week in year )

Investment worth = 19000 ( 1+0.09/52)7*52 = $35,655.18

Case5:

when compunded daily n = 365 ( Let number of day in year )

Investment worth = 19000 ( 1+0.09/365)7*365 = $35,671.83
