You buy a 2-year, 8 percent savings certificate for $1,000. If interest is compounded annually, what will be its value at maturity?
a. $1,067.43
b. $1,166.40
c. $1,201.03
d. $1,396.57
e. $1,466.33
We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
A=1000*(1.08)^2
=1000*1.1664
=$1166.4
