Ans:,
Given,
Present Value (PV) = $15,000
Interest Rate (r) = 4.5 %
Future Value = Present Value (1 + r )n
a) Compounded Monthly -
r = 0.375 % Monthly
n = 12 Months
= 15,000 (1 + 0.00375)12
= 15,000 * 1.04593983
= $ 15,689.10
b)Compounded Daily -
r = 0.012329 % Daily
n = 365 Days
= 15,000 (1 + 0.00012329)365
= 15,000 * 1.04602585
= $ 15,690.39
c) Compounded Quarterly -
r = 1.125 % Quarterly
n = 4 Quarters
= 15,000 (1 + 0.01125)4
= 15,000 * 1.04576509
= $ 15,686.48
