RECEIVES A CHECK FOR $250,000. AFTER SPENDING $10,000 ON VACATION, SHE
DECIDES TO INVEST THE REST IN A MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT THAT PAYS 1.5%
INTEREST COMPOUNDED MONTHLY. HOW MUCH MONEY WILL BE IN THE ACCOUNT
AFTER 10 YEAR

Respuesta :

The amount of money in the account after 10 years is $278,814.10.

What will be the value of the account after 10 years?

The first step is to determine the amount she has left to invest.

Amount invested = amount won - amount spent on vacation

$250,000 - $10,000 = $240,000

The second step is to determine the future value of the account. The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^nm

  • FV = Future value
  • P = Present value
  • R = interest rate = 1/5/12 = 0.125%
  • m = number of compounding =12
  • N = number of years

240,000 x 1.00125^(12 x10) = $278,814.10
