Compounded Interest Rate Formula: [tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

  • A is final amount
  • P is principle amount
  • r is rate
  • n is compounded rate
  • t is time (in years)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Given

Principle Amount = $1750

r = 6% = 0.06

n = 1 (compounded annually)

Step 2: Write function

Substitute into formula

  1. Substitute [CIR]:                    [tex]A = 1750(1 + \frac{0.06}{1} )^{1t}[/tex]
  2. (Parenthesis) Divide:            [tex]A = 1750(1 + 0.06)^{1t}[/tex]
  3. (Exponents) Multiply:           [tex]A = 1750(1 + 0.06)^{t}[/tex]
  4. (Parenthesis) Add:               [tex]A = 1750(1.06)^{t}[/tex]

This equation tells us how much money A the investment has gained over t years.
