What are the correct variables when calculating the future value
of $1000 invested today at 8% in 12 years?
What is the future value of this investment?
Amount Invested today = $1000
Formula for Future Value:-
FV = PV(1+i)^N
So, the correct variables for solving the future value is,
FV = Future Value
PV = Present Value = $1000
i = Interest rate = 8%
N = No of years = 12 years
Now, calculating the Future Value of investment:-
FV = $1000*(1+0.08)^12
= $1000*2.51817011682
= $2518.17
So, the future value of this investment is $2518.17
