Larry plants to invest 275,000 for 30 years at an anticipated rate of 6% per annum compounded yearly what is the approximate difference in his ending balance of the actual rate is 5% instead of six

Answer:
$390,000
Explanation
To do this, we will use the compound interest formula;
A = P(1+r)^t
P = 275000
rate r = 6%
Time t = 30years
Substitute
A = 275000(1+0.06)^30
A = 275000(1.06)^30
A = 275000(5.7435)
A = 1,579,460.07
For the rate of 5%
A = 275000(1+0.05)^30
A = 275000(1.05)^30
A = 275000(4.3219)
A = 1,188,534.15
Takeing their difference;
Difference = 1,579,460.07-1,188,534.15
Difference =390,925.92
Hence the approximate difference in his ending balance of the actual rate is 5% instead of six is about $390,000
