Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

a.P=$500

Time=1 year

r=6%

FV=[tex]P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n[/tex]

Where P=Present value

r=Annual rate of interest

n=Time(in year)

Using the formula

FV=[tex]500(1+\frac{6}{100})^1=[/tex]$530

Hence, compounding value=$530

2.P=$500

n=2 years

[tex]r=6[/tex]%

Substitute the values then we get

FV=[tex]500(1+\frac{6}{100})^2=[/tex]$561.8

Hence, compounding value=$561.8

3.Present value=$500

r=6%

n=1 year

Substitute the values

[tex]500=P(1+\frac{6}{100})=1.06P[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{500}{1.06}[/tex]=$471.7

Hence, discounting value=$471.7

4.Present value=$500

r=6%

n=2 years

Substitute the values then we get

[tex]500=P(1+\frac{6}{100})^2=(1.06)^2P[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{500}{(1.06)^2}=[/tex]$445

Hence, discounting value=$445
