If you invest $9000 how much will you have

A. in two years at 9%
B. in 7 years at 12%
C. in 25 years at 14%
D. in 25 years at 14% (compounded Semi-annually)

I don't know how to even start this can anyone help?

A. PV = 9,000; rate = 9%; N = 2 years

FV = PV x FVIF9%, 2 years
= 9,000 x 1.188
= $10,692

Ok how did you get 1.188

Look at the A appendix to find the number under the 9% to find the answer.

Of course! I can help you with this. To calculate the future value of an investment, you can use the formula:

FV = PV * (1 + r)^n

Where:
- FV is the future value of the investment
- PV is the present value or the initial amount invested
- r is the interest rate
- n is the number of periods (in years in this case)

Let's calculate the future value in each scenario:

A. In two years at 9%:
FV = $9000 * (1 + 0.09)^2
FV = $9000 * 1.09^2
FV = $9000 * 1.1881 ≈ $10,692.90

B. In seven years at 12%:
FV = $9000 * (1 + 0.12)^7
FV = $9000 * 1.12^7
FV = $9000 * 1.9672 ≈ $17,705.20

C. In 25 years at 14%:
FV = $9000 * (1 + 0.14)^25
FV = $9000 * 1.14^25
FV = $9000 * 11.1723 ≈ $100,550.70

D. In 25 years at 14% (compounded semi-annually):
For compounding semi-annually, we need to adjust the interest rate and the number of periods.
The annual interest rate of 14% needs to be divided by 2, resulting in 7% interest for each six-month period. The number of periods will be 25 years multiplied by 2, since compounding occurs twice a year.

So, for this case:
FV = $9000 * (1 + 0.07)^(25*2)
FV = $9000 * 1.07^50
FV = $9000 * 7.6129 ≈ $68,516.10

Therefore, the future values of your investment would be:
A. In two years at 9%: $10,692.90
B. In seven years at 12%: $17,705.20
C. In 25 years at 14%: $100,550.70
D. In 25 years at 14% (compounded semi-annually): $68,516.10
