If you buy a 10 year, 2% CD for $12,000. How much is it worth at maturity?
Certificate of deposit is the special account which locks the fund for a specific period and gives interest on it over the period of deposit.
Here to calculate the maturity value the principal amount , time and rate is required.
Based on it the formula for the maturity value = Principal *( 1 + Rate/100)N
Maturity Value = 12000 (1 +2/100) 10
Maturity value = 12000 (1+0.2)10 = 12000 * 1.218994 = 14627.928
Hence the CD will be worth $ 14627.928 at maturity.
Please note : It is assumed that interest is compounded annually and no adjustment is made for inflation effect.
