850000....

anonymous · Answer

10000 x (1.12)^6

anonymous · Answer

A = p(1+r)^t
A = 10,000 ( 1.12^6)
10000 * 1.97
= $ 19,738.23

anonymous · Answer

what formula are you using? to solve this?
i think there is Y=Ak^x or y=AB^x same formula just different variable
and PMT=PV*(((r/n)/(1-(1+(r/n))^(-nt))

ishan_meswani I know this stuff it's fresh in my memory. since it's so easy to remember. And yes i know you are correct.

i thought it was solve like this :
interest in 6 years = 6x0.12 x 10000 = 7200
so the total gonna be interest + 10000 = 17200 ?

anonymous · Answer

it can't be that way. Since interest grows. and each year the total is different
we could interpret it like this. 10000*1.12=11200 interest from year one. then the second year's interest would be multiplied by 11200*1.12=12544
same as 10000*1.12*1.12=12544
