Stan’s savings account has a balance of $2257. After 5 years, what will the amount of interest be at 10% compounded quarterly

Respuesta :

Hi there:)
First find the future value
The formula is
A=p (1+r/k)^kt
A future value?
P present value 2257
R interest rate 0.10
K compounded quarterly 4
T time 5 years
A=2,257×(1+0.10÷4)^(4×5)
A=3,698.36

Now find the amount of interest
I=A-p
I=3,698.36−2,257
I=1,441.36

Hope it helps

What is compound interest?

Interest on interest, or compound interest, is the adding of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit. It's the outcome of reinvesting interest rather than paying it out so that interest is received on the principal plus previously collected interest in the next quarter.,

[tex]A = P(1+ \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

where A is the final amount

P is the principal amount

r is the rate of interest

n is the number of times interest is charged in a year

t is the number of years

Given that Stan’s savings account has a balance of $2257. Therefore, the balance after 5 years will be,

[tex]A = \$2257(1+\dfrac{0.1}{4})^{(4 \times 5)}[/tex]

   = $2257(1.6386)

   = $3698.36

Now, the amount of intersest will be,

Amount of interest = $3698.36 - $2257

                                = $1441.36

Hence, After 5 years, the amount of interest compounded at 10% quarterly is $1441.36.
