Christopher invested $1500 at 5% compounded semi-annually for 10 years. What is the amount of the investment at maturity?

Sagot :

The amount of the investment at maturity is $2443.341

Compound interest is the interest on the initial principal plus the interest which has been accumulated.

Given,

Principal amount (P)=  $1500

Rate of interest(R)= 5% = 5/100 = 0.05%

Time(T)= 10 years

The formula for annual compound interest is as follows:

FV = P (1+ r/m)^mt

Where:

FV - the future value of the investment, in our calculator it is the final balance

P - the initial balance (the value of the investment)

r - the annual interest rate (in decimal)

m - the number of times the interest is compounded per year (compounding frequency)

t - the number of years the money is invested for

FV = 1500*(1+0.05/1)^(10*1) = 2443.341

The value of the investment after 10 years will be $2443.341.
