Question

Suppose you decide to deposit $11,000 in a savings account that pays a nominal rate of 6%, but interest is compounded daily. Based on a 365-day year, how much would you have in the account after 12 months? (Hint: To calculate the number of days, divide the number of months by 12 and multiply by 365.)

Answer 1

Answer:

I will have $11,680 after 12 months.

Explanation:

Future value is the sum of principal amount and compounded interest amount invested on a specific rate for a specific period of time.

Use following formula to calculate the future value of invested amount

FV = PV x ( 1+ r )^n

FV = Future Value =

PV = Present Value =

r = rate of interest = 6% yearly

n = number of days = 365 days

FV = $11,000 x ( 1 + 6%/365 )^365

FV = $11,680.14
