  • Future value for various compounding periods

    PV = FV x (1+R)N where PV is the present value R is the interest rate N is the period Semiannually PV = 500(1.06)10 = 500(0.5584) = 279.20 Quarterly PV = 500 x (1.03)20 = 500(0.5537) = 276.85 Monthly PV = 500

  • Present Value / Future Value

    Using continuous compounding PV = FV/e^nr PV = 1,000,000/(2.71828)^(14X7%) = 375,311.30 The solution explains the calculation of present value and future value
