Suppose you deposit $1,044.00 into an account 5.00 years from today that earns 12.00%. It will be worth $1,730.00 years from today Submit Answer format: Number: Round to 2 decimal places. e
Here we will use the following formula:
FV = PV * (1 + r%)n
where, FV = Future value = $1730, PV = Present value = $1044, r = rate of interest = 12%, n= time period
now, putting theses values in the above equation, we get,
$1730 = $1044 * (1 + 12%)n
$1730 / $1044 = (1 + 0.12)n
1.657088122 = (1.12)n
(1.12)4.46 = (1.12)n
n = 4.46
So, it will take 4.46 years for an amount of $1044 to become $1730.
Now, if we deposit $1044 after 5 years, then it will take:
5 + 4.46 = 9.46 years from today to become $1730.
