You want to quit your job and return to school for an MBA degree 3 years from now, and you plan to save $7,000 per year, beginning immediately. You will make 3 deposits in an account that pays 5.2% interest. Under these assumptions, how much will you have 3 years from today?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is $23,260.69.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Payment (pmt ) = $7,000

Time period (n) = 3

Rate of interest (r) = 5.2%

So, we can calculate the future value by using following formula:

FV = Pmt ( 1 + r)^n + Pmt ( 1 + r)^n-1 + Pmt ( 1 + r)^n-2

By putting the value, we get

= $7,000 ( 1 + 0.052)^3 +$7,000 ( 1 + 0.052)^2+$7,000 ( 1+ 0.052)^1

= $23,260.69

hence, The future value after 3 years will be $23,260.69.
