JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,500 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures

Respuesta :

Answer: $1781.54

Explanation:

Since the person invest $1,500 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually, then the amount that the person will have when the CD matures will be:

= PV(1 + r)^n

= 1500 × (1+3.5%)^5

= 1500 × (1.035)^5

= 1500 × 1.18769

= 1781.54

Therefore, the person will have $1781.54 when the CD matures.
