 Problem 3.2

a
vi
An amount of money P is invested in an account where
interest is compounded at the end of the period. The future

ed
worth F yielded at an interest rate i after n periods may be

ar
determined from the following formula:

sh
F = P(1 + i )n

as
Write an M-file that will calculate the future worth of an

w
investment for each year from 1 through n. The input to the

m e
function should include the initial investment P, the interest

co rc
o. ou
rate i (as a decimal), and the number of years n for which the
future worth is to be calculated. The output should consist of
er res
a table with headings and columns for n and F. Run the
se dy

program for P = $100,000, i = 0.05, and n = 10 years.

Economic formulas are available to compute annual
payments for loans. Suppose that you borrow an amount of

money P and agree to repay it in n annual payments at an
