You hope to buy your dream car five years from now. Today, that car costs $62,500. You expect the price to increase by an average of 2.9 percent per year. How much will your dream car cost by the time you are ready to buy it?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the value after 5 years is 72,103.59

Explanation:

One can calculate this kind of problems as the calculation of future value of the today car cost, so take into account the next formula:

[tex]FV=PV*(1+i)^{n}[/tex]

where FV is future value, PV is the present value, i is the periodic interest rate and n is the number of periods. So applying to this particular problem we have:

[tex]FV=62,500*(1+0.029)^{5}[/tex]

[tex]FV=72,103.59[/tex]
