Rosina plans on saving $2,000 a year and expects to earn an annual rate of 6.9 percent. How much will she have in her account at the end of 37 years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$79,106

Explanation:

This is a simple interest problem since Rosina plans on saving $2000 each year and expects to earn 6.9%.

interest earned on savings=P×i×n

where:

P=Principle: $2000

i=interest rate; 6.9/100=0.069

n=term of the loan; 37 years

interest earned on savings= 2000×0.069×37=$5106

Each year Rosina saves $2000 per year. In 37 years, Rosina would have saved a total of 2000×37=$74000

Adding $74000 to the interest gained on savings $5106, the total amount Rosina will have is $79,106
