you are planning to make two deposits into an account earning 2% interest: $5,000 in one year and $3,000 in two years from today. what will the account balance be by the end of year 4? round to the nearest dollar.

Respuesta :

The account balance by the end of year 4 will be 8427.

  • The account balance will have an earning of 2% interest.
  • We will make 2 deposits- one year from today and two years from today.
  • If we make first deposit from one year after today so years left till 4 years will be 3 years (4-1=3).
  • Now the second deposit will be made after 2 years from today, hence, years left for 4 years will be 2 (4-2=2).

Two deposits that are made will be as:

  • Value of 5,000 deposits made after one year from today i.e 3 years of interest will be received 5000*(1.02)3 = 5306
  • Value of 3,000 deposit made after 2 year from today i.e. 2 years of interest will be received 3000*(1.02)2 = 3121

Therefore account balance by the end of the year 4 = 5306 + 3121 = 8427
