The formula of compound interest to calculate Future value from
a given Present value, rate and time is as follows
F = P (1+r)^t
where, F = Future value
P = Present value
r = Rate of interest
t = Number of years
So, therefore we see that, P = F / [(1+r)^t]
Now, since it is compounded quarterly, therefore we will multiply
time with 4 as well as divide rate by 4. This is because in case of
time we will not take them as 13 years but (13X4) 52 quarters. Also
in case of Rate we will not take them as 6.37% annual rate but
(6.37/ 4) 1.59 rate per quarter.
Thus using the data given , we can find the Present value in the
following way:
=> P = $19178 / [(1+ (6.37%/4))^13 years X 4]
=> P = $19178 / 2.274
=> P = 8433.6
Hence, Camila needs to place $8433.6 in a saving account today that earns 6.37 percent per year (compounded quarterly) to accumulate $19178 in 13 years from now.
