1.find the future value for the following investment :

a) RM19999 at 4.5% COMPOUNDED every 2 months for 2 year

b) RM 120000 at 5 3/4 percent compounded monthly for 3 1/4 years

2 answers

a. P = Po(1+r)^n

Po = $19,999

r = (4.5%/6)/100% = 0.0075

n = 6comp./yr. * 2yrs. = 12 Compounding
periods.

Solve for P.

b. P = Po(1+r)^n

Po = $120,000

r = (5.75%/12/100% = 0.00479 = Monthly
% rate expressed as a decimal.

n = 12comp./yr. * 3.25yrs. = 39 Compounding periods.

Solve for P.
