Solution

 

Calculate the Future value of the Investment

FV = PV ( 1 + r )n

FV = Future Value of investment

PV = Present Value Of Investment

r =   Annual Interest Rate

n = End of the year

 

So as per this problem : 

 

FV = PV(1 + r )n

PV = $5000

r = 6% or 0.06

n = 18 years

FV = PV (1 + r)n

                            

      = 5000 ( 1 + 0.06 ) 18

      = 5000 ( 1.06 ) 18

        = ( 1.06)18 = 1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06

                        = 2.85433

      = 5000 * 2.85433

      = $14271.50
