Respuesta :

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=\text{ \$1500} \\ i=6\text{ \%=0.06} \\ t=10\text{ years} \\ \text{But one year has 12 months; hence} \\ t=10\cdot12=120\text{ months} \\ Vf=C(1+i\cdot t) \\ Vf=\text{ \$1500}(1+(\text{0.06})\cdot(120)) \\ Vf=\text{ \$1500}(1+7.2) \\ Vf=\text{ \$1500}(8.2) \\ Vf=\text{ \$1}2300 \\ \text{The CD will be worth \$1}2300\text{ after 10 years} \end{gathered}[/tex]
