To calculate: The future amount Beverly Hills gets after investing $550 each quarter for 4 years at 8%
Introduction:
The value of an investment or asset in a future time period is termed as future value. It is calculated by multiplying the present value of the investment or asset with its growth rate.
When payments are made or received in a series at equivalent intervals, they are termed as an annuity. Such payments can be made weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Compounded Interest:
It is an interest rate computed on the principal amount plus the interest amount, which has been accumulated over prior periods. It also represents the number of times interest is generated in a particular period. It can be annually, semi-annually, quarterly, daily or continuous.
