CAN ANY ONE PLS EXPAIN ME HOW THIS FV IS CALCULATED AND HOW TO CALCULATE 4.046
PLS
Ram has deposited Rs. 55,650 in a bank, which is paying 15 per cent rate of interest on a ten-year time deposit. Calculate the amount at the end of ten years?
Calculation of Future Value (FV) FV = P CVF10,0.15 FV = 55,650 CVF10,0.15 (CVF of Re. 1 at 15 percent for 10 years is 4.046) = 55,650 4.046 = Rs. 2,25,159.90.

Future value after 10 years at 15% rate of interest means 1. On the deposited amount by Ram Bank will provide interest @ 15% annually. 2.After completion of 1 yr this amount will be compounded with 55650/ i.e. principal. and it will be eligible for 2nd yr's Interest. 3. After completion of 2nd yr the same process will be repeated. 4. The formula for Amount(A) after n (10) years @ Compound Interest Rate i i.e.(15% =.15) is - A=P(1+i)to the power n = 55650(1+.15)to the power 10 So calculate 1.15x1.15x1.15 ten times. You will get 4.046. 5. You may ask for Readymade tables in the exam.
