CH5-PP: Future Value - a: Suppose you put $1,000 in a savings account today. This account earns 5% per year. How much is in your savings account at the end of one year (Future Value, FV1)? b: Suppose you leave the money in for another year. How much will you have two years from now? c: How much will be in your bank account at the end of 5 years?

a: Interest = 1,000(.05) = 50 Value in one year = principal + interest = 1,000 + 50 = 1,050 b: We can compute the Future Value of the amount in the investment at the end of the first year. We know that the $1,050 will earn 5% interest. $1,050 x .05 = $52.50 So at the end of the second year, you will have $1,050 + $52.50 = $1,102.50. c: PV = $1,000, r = 5%, t = 5. We are computing FV5 FVt = PV(1 + r)^t = 1,000(1.05)^5 = $1,276.28
