What is interest rate?

An interest rate indicates how expensive borrowing is or how lucrative saving is.

Arturo’s parents deposit $50 each month

Interest rate, r = 5.75%

5.75%/12 = 23/4800 = 0.00479

In 10 years, tenure, N = 10 × 12 = 120 months.

Total Investment = monthly deposits x N

= $50 x 120 = $6000.

$6000 this amount is to Arturo’s parents to invest after 10 years.

FV = Monthly ×[tex]((1+r) ^{120} -1)[/tex]/r

FV =  50 ×[tex]\frac{((1+0.00479) ^{120} -1)}{0.00479}[/tex]

FV =  $8083.74

Interest Earned in 10 years = $8083.74—$6000 = $2083.74

If they continue to invest for 20 years, tenure = 12 × 20 = 240 months.

FV = [tex]\frac{((1+0.00479) ^{120} -1)}{0.00479}[/tex]

FV = [tex]\frac{((1+0.00479) ^{240} -1)}{0.00479}[/tex]

FV=  $22429.89

Interest Earned in 20 years = $22429.89—$12000 = $10429.89.

Interest Earned between 10 years and 20 years = $10429.89—$2083.74 = $8346.15

As a result, a) $6000 b) $2083.74 c) $8346.15 is an accurate answer.
