Your grandparents invested $2,000 for you on the day you were born. How much will this investment be worth on your 25th birthday if the money was invested in a savings account averaging an annual yield of 5% and the interest is compounded quarterly?

Please answer this correctly.​

Respuesta :

We know that, Amount in Compound interest is given by :

[tex]\bigstar \ \ \boxed{\sf{Amount = Principal\bigg(1 + \dfrac{Rate \ of \ Interest}{100}\bigg)^{Time \ Period}}}[/tex]

Given : Principal = $2000

Given : Annual yield is 5% and the interest is compounded quarterly

It means : Interest is compounded 4 times in a year

[tex]\implies \sf{Rate \ of \ Interest = \dfrac{R}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{\implies Time \ period = (25 \times 4) = 100}[/tex]

Substituting all the values in the formula, we get :

[tex]\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{\dfrac{5}{4}}{100}\bigg)^{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{5}{400}\bigg)^{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{1}{80}\bigg)^{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(\dfrac{81}{80}\bigg)^{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf{Amount = 2000 \times (1.0125)^{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf{Amount = 2000 \times 3.463}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf{Amount = 6926.8}[/tex]
