If a deposit of $2,500 per month was made for the next 3 years, determine the future worth of the deposit at an interest rate of 10% per year, compounded continuously?
We know formula of Future Value (FV) continuous compounding of a cash flow (CF) is given as :-
Where, CF is cash flow each period
e = 2.71828
r is the periodic interest rate
t is total period
As per our question each period is of one month
So,
r = 10% ÷ 12 = 0.8333% = 0.008333
t = 3 years = 3*12 = 36 months
CF = $2500 per month
So, Using above values
So, The future worth of deposit is $104,570
