Jill’s husband Jim invests $15 000 with compound interest at 3% per year. How much does he have after 4 years?

 

Interest -> $15 000 × [100% + (4 × 3%)]

= $15 000 × (100% + 12%)

= $15 000 × 112%

= $16 800

MWizzard, take a look at my answer   :)

It depends on how often it is compounded bur I will assume it is compounded yearly 

 

15000 (1+0.03)^4  = 15000*1.03^4 

 

15000*1.03^4 = 16882.63215

 

$16,882.63

FV=PV[ 1 + R]^N

FV=15,000[1 + .03]^4

FV=15,000 x 1.12550881

FV=$16,882.63
