Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The value of the investment after 30 years is [tex]\$45,720.12[/tex] Step-by-step explanation:we know that The compound interest formula is equal to [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex] where A is the Final Investment Value P is the Principal amount of money to be invested r is the rate of interest in decimal
t is Number of Time Periods n is the number of times interest is compounded per year
in this problem we have [tex]t=30\ years\\ P=\$16,000\\ r=3.5\%=3.5/100=0.035\\n=365[/tex] substitute in the formula above [tex]A=16,000(1+\frac{0.035}{365})^{365*30}[/tex] [tex]A=16,000(1+\frac{0.035}{365})^{10,950}[/tex] [tex]A=\$45,720.12[/tex]
