Kendra signed a contract to play professional soccer. She got a $100,000 signing bonus, and she decided to invest the bonus in a money market account that pays 15% interest compounded yearly. She plans to use the signing bonus when she retires in 20 years. How much will her investment be worth in 20 years? Round the answer to two decimal places.(1 point) $
wrong its lower than 100k
its lower thank 100 thousand the total
dawg what
The money market account compounds interest yearly, so we'll use the formula:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
where:
A = the total amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest
P = the principal amount (initial investment)
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = number of years
In this case, Kendra's initial investment (P) is $100,000, the interest rate (r) is 0.15 (15% expressed as a decimal), the investment is compounded yearly (n = 1), and the investment period (t) is 20 years.
A = 100,000(1 + 0.15/1)^(1*20)
= 100,000(1 + 0.15)^(20)
= 100,000(1.15)^(20)
≈ 100,000(8.134)
= $813,400.
Therefore, Kendra's investment will be worth approximately $813,400 in 20 years.
I apologize for the mistake. Let me recalculate:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
A = 100,000(1 + 0.15/1)^(1*20)
A = 100,000(1.15)^(20)
A ≈ 100,000(7.612)
A ≈ $761,200
Therefore, Kendra's investment will be worth approximately $761,200 in 20 years. Sorry for any confusion caused.
I apologize for the incorrect information earlier. Let me recalculate:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
A = 100,000(1 + 0.15/1)^(1*20)
A = 100,000(1.15)^(20)
A ≈ 100,000(2.6533)
A ≈ $265,330
Therefore, Kendra's investment will be worth approximately $265,330 in 20 years. I apologize for any confusion caused.
To calculate how much Kendra's investment will be worth in 20 years with compounded interest, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment
P = the principal amount (the signing bonus)
r = the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = the number of times interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years
In this case, the principal amount (P) is $100,000, the annual interest rate (r) is 15% or 0.15, the interest is compounded yearly (n = 1), and the number of years (t) is 20.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
A = 100,000(1 + 0.15/1)^(1*20)
Simplifying the equation, we have:
A = 100,000(1.15)^20
Using a calculator or computational tool, we can calculate the future value to be:
A ≈ $1,045,758.48 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, Kendra's investment will be worth approximately $1,045,758.48 in 20 years.
