Some investments in the stock market have earned 10% annually. At this rate, earnings can be found using the formula A=P(1.10)^n, where A is the total value of the investment, P is the initial value of the investment, and N is the number if years the money is invested. If $2,500 is invested in the stock market at this annual rate of return, what is the expected total value after 18 years?
For the answer to the question above asking what is the expected total value after 18 years?p=invested=2500
n=number of years=18
so
a=2500(1.1)^18
Use the formula in solving this
(1.1)^18=5.55991731349 first then
a=2500(5.55991731349)
So the answer to the question above is
a=13,899.793283725
or 13,900 if rounded off
