Find the future value one year from now of a $7,000 investment at a 3 percent annual compound interest rate. Also calculate the future value if the investment is made for two years.

P1.  Find the future value one year from now of a $7,000 investment at a 3 percent annual compound interest rate.  Also calculate the future value if the investment is made for two years.

P2.  Find the future value of $10,000 invested now after five years if the annual interest rate is 8 percent.

What would be the future value if the interest rate is a simple interest rate?
What would be the future value if the interest rate is a compound interest rate?


P3.  Determine the future values if $5,000 is invested in each of the following situations:

5 percent for ten years.
7 percent for seven years.
9 percent for four years.


P4.  You are planning to invest $2,500 today for three years at a nominal interest rate of 9 percent with annual compounding.

What would be the future value of your investment?
Now assume that inflation is expected to be 3 percent per year over the same three-year period.  What would be the investment’s future value in terms of purchasing power?
What would be the investment’s future value in terms of purchasing power if inflation occurs at a 9 percent annual rate?
