Sierra wants to invest $5,000 at her local bank. She will receive an interest rate of 1%, compounded annually. What is the value of her investment after two years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Value of investment for Sierra after two years will be $5100.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal Amount P =$5000

Interest rate r = 1% = 0.01

Time t = 2 years

Compounded annually n = 1

We need to find future amount A

The formula used is: [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Putting values and finding A

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\\A=5000(1+\frac{0.01}{1})^{1*2}\\A=5000(1+0.01)^{2} \\A=5000(1.01)^{2}\\A=5000(1.0201)\\A=5100.5[/tex]

So, Value of investment for Sierra after two years will be $5100.5
