1. How much will you have after 6 years if you invest $15,000 at 8% per year compounded annually? Quarterly?

FV = PV (1+R)N where PV is the present value
R is the interest rate
N is the period

Annually

FV = 15,000(1.08)6
= 15,000(1.5869)
= 23,803.50

Quarterly

FV = 15,000(1.02)6x4
= 15,000(1.6804)
= 25,206

2. How much you need to invest now at 8% interest rate compounded semiannually in order to have $10,000 in 5 years from now?

FV = PV (1+R)N where PV is the present value
R is the interest rate
N is the period

10,000 = PV (1.04)5x2
10,000 = PV (1.4802)
PV = 6,755.84

3. Find the present value of $12,000 due four years from now if rate of interest is 6.0% per year and compounded quarterly?

12,000 = PV (1.015)4x4
