Compute the future value of $1,000 at a 6 percent interest rate after three different lengths of time. Use 6, 10 and 20 years into the future.

What will be an ideal response?


We can use a calculator and the formula FV = PV(1 + i)n to solve this problem. To calculate the future value for six years the formula will be: FV = $1,000(1.06)6 which equals $1,418.52. Using a similar approach for 10 years: FV = $1,000(1.06)10 which equals $1790.85. And finally for 20 years: FV = $1,000(1.06)20 which equals $3207.14.
