Answer #1

Answer

We will work in months

Number of months=n=6*12=72

monthly interest rate =6/12=0.5%=r

A=monthly payment=500

FV=?

The formula is:

-1 A[P FVA+r) using the formula FV = 500 (1+0.005)72 1 0.005 FV 43204.42785 43204 FV 500

The future value is $43204

also, there is a table formula:

F=A*(F|A,r,n)

=500*(F|A,0.5%,72)

=500*86.409

=43204.5

=43205

If you did from the table in class then second is correct but it is not accurate as the first one is accurate to 14 digits so the answer is $43204
