An antique index started at 100 and returned 16.67% per year over the next 20 years. What is the ending value of the index?
Here we will use the following formula:
FV = PV * (1 + r%)n
where, FV = Future value, PV = Present value = $100, r = rate of interest = 16.67%, n= time period = 20
now, putting theses values in the above equation, we get,
FV = $100 * (1 + 16.67%)20
FV = $100 * (1 + 0.1667)20
FV = $100 * (1.1667)20
FV = $100 * 21.8365466282
FV = $2183.65
So, ending value of the index is $2183.65.
