Suppose you invest $1000 in an account paying 8% interest per year. a. What is the balance in the account after 3 years? How much of this balance corresponds to “interest on interest”
In 3 years, interese, the present values are solved
By putting all the values from the question given data. you can also do that in excel just by using the formula in a cell =FV press tab then simply follow up the formula by putting all the data in sequence vise.
FV in 3 years= $1,000 x(1.08)^3= $1259.71 ,
For interest FV-PV= $1259.71-$1000= $259.71
PV interest=$1000x0.08x3= 240 Interest cal= $259.71-240= $19.71
