What is the future value of $1,000 invested today at an annual interest rate of 5% for four years?
Assuming Compounding of Interest
Future Value
= Present Value x ( 1 + Rate of interest) ^ Number of periods
Where, Present Value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 5% or 0.05
Number of periods = 4 Years
So, Future Value
= $1,000 x [ 1.05 ^ 4 ]
= $1,000 x 1.215506
= $ 1,215.51
