If your bank account pays annual interest rate of 0.2% and compounds the interest every day, how much is the future value of $500 saved in the account for 3 years? (include the equation)
Hint: Assume there are 365 days per year.
We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/365)^365n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
A=500*(1+0.002/365)^(365*3)
=500*1.00601802
=$503.01(Approx)
