Jill just opened a savings account with Santander Bank and deposited $2,000 into it. The account pays an annual nominal interest of 1%, but interest is compounded every month. If Jill does not make any future deposits or withdrawals, what will her account balance be after 5 years (ignore all service charges and taxes)?
Annual nominal rate = 1 %
monthly interest rate = 1% / 12 = 0.0833%
Number of periods = 5 years * 12 months = 60 months
Particulars | Amount |
Present Value | $ 2,000.00 |
Int Rate | 0.0833% |
Periods | 60 |
Future Value = Present Value * ( 1 + r )^n
= $ 2000 ( 1 + 0.000833) ^ 60
= $ 2000 ( 1.000833 ^ 60)
= $ 2000 * 1.0512
= $ 2102.5
Jill will have in her account after 5 years is $
2102.5
