Changing compounding frequency using annual, semiannual, and quarterly compounding periods for each of the following, (1) calculate the future value if $5,000 is deposited initially, and (2) determine the effective annual rate (ear).
a. at 12% annual interest for 5 years.
b. at 16% annual interest for 6 years.
c. at 20% annual interest for 10 years.

a). Future value=$8,811.71 annually, and the effective annual rate is=12%

Future value =$8,954.23 semiannually, and the effective annual rate=12.36%

Future value quarterly=$9,030.56, and the effective annual rate=12.55%

b). Future value annually=$12,181.98, and the effective annual rate=16%

Future value semiannually=$12,590.85, and the effective annual rate=16.64%

Future value quarterly=$12,816.52, and effective annual rate=16.99%

c). Future value annually=$30,958.68, and the effective annual rate=20%

Future value semi-annually=$33,637.49, and the effective annual rate=21%

Future value quarterly=$35,199.94, and the effective annual rate=21.55%

Explanation:

a). At 12% annual interest for 5 years

Compounded annually

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

where;

A=future value

P=initial value=5,000

n=1

r=annual interest rate=12%=12/100=0.12

t=number of years=5

A=5,000(1+0.12/1)^5=8,811.71

Future value when interest is compounded annually=$8,811.71

The effective annual rate formula is expressed as;

Effective annual rate=((1+i/n)^n}-1

where;

i=stated interest rate=12/100=0.12

n=number of compounding periods in a year=1

replacing;

EAR={(1+0.12/1)^1}-1

EAR=0.12×100

Effective annual rate when compounding is done annually=12%

Compounded semiannually

P=initial value=5,000

n=2

r=annual interest rate=12%=12/100=0.12

t=number of years=5

Effective annual rate when compounding is done semi-annually=12.36%

Compounded quarterly

P=initial value=5,000

n=4

r=annual interest rate=12%=12/100=0.12

t=number of years=5
