Every 6 months for 5 years, a father deposits $3000 in a trust company for his daughter’s education. If the money earns at 16% compounded semi-annually, how much will be in the fund after the 7th deposit? After the last deposit?
Answer
Given data we have ,
Principal amount P = $ 3,000
Also we knwo from the knowledge of compound interest that , when the interest is cumpound half yearly or semiannually then ,
R = 16%
time period T = 2n ( for semiannual deposit ) = 2*5 =10
Using the formula of coumpound interest we get the amount or deposit at 7th deposit or last deposit .
Subsituting the value in above equation we get ,
HENCE THE FINAL DEPOSIT OR THE LAST DEPOSIT AMOUNT TO $ 10,234
have a good day !
