How much would 30 be worth after 4 years if you received 184
How much would $30 be worth after 4 years if you received 18.4% interest per year, compounded monthly?
Solution
Let the worth of $30 after 4 years is denoted by A
So A = P (1+r/n)nt
where P = the amount deposit today i.e., $30.
r = rate of interest per year i.e., 18.4% =0.184
n = no. of times interest is compounded i.e., 12 as compounded monthly.
t = no. of years i.e., 4 years.
Put values in the formula, we get
A = $30* (1+0.184/12)12*4
A = $30*(1 + 0.01533)48
A = $30*(1.01533)48
A= $30 *( 2.075)
A= $62.25
So the worth of $30 after 4 years if interest rate is 18.4% per year compounded monthly is $62.25
