Cloud Strife is going to place $12,500 into a certificate of deposit (CD) at a 6% annual rate (compounded annually) with a maturity of 30 months. How much money will Cloud receive when the CD matures?
We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period=(30/12=2.5 years]
A=12500*(1.06)^2.5
=12500*1.156817
=$14460.21(Approx)
