Answer:
Explanation:
A lumpsum is a one-time cashflow. Future value of this lumpsum is its amount after earning interest through compounding process.
The formula for FV of a lumpsum is as follows;
FV = PV(1+r )^n
PV is the onetime present cashflow
r = interest rate
n = total duration of investment
For example , if you deposit $400 into a savings account that pays 5% interest rate for 2 years. Your future value at the end of 2 years would plugged in the formula as follows;
FV = 400 (1 +0.05)^2
