econ

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

i know i= 6%/4, right?

satellite73 (satellite73):

set \[P(1+\frac{.06}{4})^{4t}=10,000\] and solve for \(P\)

satellite73 (satellite73):

takes one step only, namely divide then of course you need a good calculator

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

n= 20, right? 4x5?

satellite73 (satellite73):

what is n?

satellite73 (satellite73):

ooh i see, sorry five years

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

numbr of periods..

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[P(1+\frac{.06}{4})^{20}=10,000\]

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

i got 7424.70

satellite73 (satellite73):

divide \(10,000\) by \((1+\frac{.06}{4})^{20}\)

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

yes, that was my first answer..

satellite73 (satellite73):

want me to check?

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

yes sure :)

satellite73 (satellite73):

yeah got the same http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=10,000%2F(1%2B.06%2F4)%5E20)

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

and i gave up knowing that my answer was too far from p= 432.46 haha

satellite73 (satellite73):

that is definitely 100% not right

satellite73 (satellite73):

there is no way on earth you invest $432 for five years and make $10,000 id be filthy rich if you could, but you cannot

satellite73 (satellite73):

wherever you got that answer from, it is a mistake

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

i shud stick on this answer, 7424.70..

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

from this.. https://www.scribd.com/document/94625970/Compound

satellite73 (satellite73):

ooh hold on

satellite73 (satellite73):

at the end of EACH QUARTER!!

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

yes yes that.. i thought it was annually..

satellite73 (satellite73):

that is a whole different formula, that i do not know

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

i tied dividing 7424 to 5 years then to 4 quarters..

satellite73 (satellite73):

you are investing 4 times a year for 5 years i don't know the formula for that must be in the book soemwheres...

OpenStudy (silver_ion):

it's okay.. :)
