6. Find the future amount at the end of 3 years for an investment of $50,000 that earns 13% at the end of each year.
A. $72,144.85
B. $77,725.75
C. $72,625.25
D. $70,121.15

Answer

To find the future amount, use the formula for compound interest: A = P(1 + r)^n, where:

  1. P is the principal amount ($50,000).
  2. r is the annual interest rate (13% or 0.13).
  3. n is the number of years (3).

Plugging in the values:

A = 50000(1 + 0.13)^3 = 50000(1.13)^3 ≈ 50000 * 1.43987 ≈ 71,993.50

The closest option is A. $72,144.85.
