Solution

To find the future value (FV) of a given present value (PV) with a given interest rate and time period, we use the formula for compound interest:

FV=PV×(1+r)n FV = PV \times (1 + r)^n

where:

  • PV PV is the present value,
  • r r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal),
  • n n is the number of years.

Given:

  • PV=$3,670 PV = \$3,670
  • Annual interest rate r=234%=2.34 r = 234\% = 2.34 (as a decimal)
  • n=6 n = 6 years

Step-by-step calculation:

  1. Convert the interest rate from a percentage to a decimal: r=234100=2.34 r = \frac{234}{100} = 2.34

  2. Substitute the values into the compound interest formula: FV=3,670×(1+2.34)6 FV = 3,670 \times (1 + 2.34)^6

  3. Calculate (1+2.34) (1 + 2.34) : 1+2.34=3.34 1 + 2.34 = 3.34

  4. Raise 3.34 3.34 to the power of 6 6 : 3.3461534.792 3.34^6 \approx 1534.792

  5. Multiply the result by the present value: FV=3,670×1534.7925,631,678.64 FV = 3,670 \times 1534.792 \approx 5,631,678.64

Therefore, the future value (FV) is approximately: FV=$5,631,678.64 FV = \$5,631,678.64
