Calculation of Future Value of Investment
Formula for calculating the future value of an investment is:
Future Value = Present Value x (1 + Interest Rate) ^ Number of Years
Calculation using the Formula
Given, Present Value = Rs.3,000, Interest Rate = 12% per annum, Number of Years = 3
Future Value = Rs.3,000 x (1 + 0.12) ^ 3
Future Value = Rs.3,000 x 1.404928
Future Value = Rs.4,214.78 (approx.)
Explanation
Future value of an investment is the amount of money that an investment will grow to at some point in the future. It takes into account the initial investment, the interest rate, and the number of years. In this case, the person has invested Rs.3,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum for 3 years. Using the formula for future value, we can calculate that the investment will be worth approximately Rs.4,214.78 after 3 years.
