Ted deposited $1750 in an RRSP on March 1, 2014, at 3% compounded quarterly. Subsequently the interest rate was changed to 4% compounded monthly on September 1, 2016, and to 4.5% compounded semi-annually on June 1, 2018. What was the value of the RRSP deposit on December 1, 2020, if no further changes in interest were made?
Value on Sep1,2016 = Deposit on Mar1,2014 * (1+r)^n
= $ 1750 * ( 1 + 0.0075)^10
= $ 1750 ( 1.0075^10)
= $ 1750 (1.0776)
= $ 808.19
Value on June1,2018 = Value on Se1,2016 * ( 1 + r)^n
= $ 808.19 * ( 1 + 0.003333)^21
= $ 808.19 * ( 1.003333)^21
= $ 808.19 * 1.0724
= $ 866.69
Value on Dec1,2020 = Value on June1,2018 * ( 1 + r)^n
= $ 866.69 * ( 1 + 0.0225)^5
= $ 866.69 * ( 1.0225)^5
= $ 866.69 * 1.1177
= $ 968.68
