If we are given that the present value of an investment is $1500, the annual rate is 7.5%, it is compounded quarterly, so 4 times per year, and it is a 5 year investment, what is the future value of the investment?
Here is the future value formula and all of the definitions of all of the variables. So, we plug into the formula, and we have future value equals, $1500 times the quantity, 1 plus .075, the decimal value of 7.5%, divided by 4, raised to the 4 times 5.
I have done all of the steps and calculations on the screen, and we get future value equals, $2174.92 rounded off.
Here are a couple more examples of converting a present value to a future value.
