The value of the investment after 13 years in a fund that pays 6.8% interest compounded monthly is B. $95,551.
Compound interest is the interest that is accrued on both principal and previous interests.
Using compound interest, the principal amount continues to increase by the additional periodic interests, which are added to the principal, until the maturity period
N (# of periods) = 156 months (13 x 12)
I/Y (Interest per year) = 6.8%
PV (Present Value) = $40,000
PMT (Periodic Payment) = 0
Settings
C/Y (# of times interest compound per year) = 12
Results:
FV = $95,551 ($40,000 + $55,551)
Total Interest $55,551
Thus, the value of the investment after 13 years in a fund that pays 6.8% interest compounded monthly is B. $95,551.
