Q.No 2:

Solution:

Here we have to calculate the future value.

Given : Present value, rate , and number of years.

We need to find the Future value (ie) Amount after n-th year.

We know the formula A = P (1+ r/100)^n (Compound interest formula)

A - Amount (ie) Future value

P - Principle (ie) present value

r -is the rate of interest

n- is the number of years.

Let me explain the first one.

Given P= $ 2250, r= 18%= 18/100 =0.18
and n= 3

Plugin these values in the formula, we get

A = 2250 (1+0.18)^3

A = 2250 (1.18)^3

A = $ 3696.82

Similarly , we have to do for other 3 problems in this question.

(ii)Given P= $9310 , r= 0.06% and n= 10.

Plugin these values in the given formula and find A (ie) future value.

Answer : $ 16672.79

(iii) Answer : 559925.63

(iv) Answer : $ 932085.64

3. Here we have to find the present value (ie) Principle value.

(i) Given : A= 15,415 , r= 4% =4/100= 0.04
and n= 4

Plugin these values in the formula A= P (1+ r/100)^n

P(1+ 0.04)^4 = 15,415

P( 1.04)^4= 15,415

P(1.17) = 15,415

P = 15,415/ 1.17

P = 13205.98 ( Round off the nearest tenths place)

Similarly we can do remaining problems.

Let me give you the last two steps :)

(ii) P (2.77) = 51, 557

Answer : P = $18612.64

(iii) P ( 16.18) = 886, 073

Ans: P = $54763.79

(iv) P ( 26.62) = 550,164

Ans: P = $20667.32

4. Here we have to find the Interest rate.

(i) Given : A = $307 , P= 221 and n= 4

Plug in these values into the given formula P (1+ r/100)^n= A

221(1+r/100) ^4 = 307

(1+ r/100)^4 = 307/221

(1+r/100)^4 = 1.39 ( Rounded ...
