Suppose Maurice buys a CD for $400 that earns 2.5%APR is compound monthly . The CD matures in 3 years . How much will Maurice’s CD be worth at maturity

Respuesta :

Answer:

$431.11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much the CD of Maurice will be after 3 years, we need to use the formula:

[tex]A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Now let's find all of our available variables.

P = $400

r = 2.5% or 0.025

t = 3 years

n = 12 months (Compounds monthly)

Now we can use the formula by substituting our values.

[tex]A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A=400(1+\dfrac{0.025}{12})^{12(3)}[/tex]

[tex]A=400(1+0.002083)^{36}[/tex]

[tex]A=400(1.002083)^{36}[/tex]

[tex]A=400(1.077787)[/tex]

[tex]A=431.11[/tex]

The CD of Maurice will be $431.11 after 3 years.
