Present and Future Values for Different Periods:
Find the following values using the equations and then a financial calculator. Compounding/discounting occurs annually.
1. An initial $600 compounded for 1 year at 6%.
2. An initial $600 compounded for 2 years at 6%.
3. The present value of $600 due in 1 year at a discount rate of 6%.
4. The present value of $600 due in 2 years at a discount rate of 6%.

1. $636

2. $674.16

3. $566.04

4. $534

Explanation:

PV = FV ÷ (1 + r/n)^(t × n)(1)

PV = present value

FV = Future value

r = rate per period

t = number of years

n = number of compounded period per year

FV = P(1 + r/n)^(t×n)(2)

FV = Future value

P = principal

r = rate per period

n = number compounded period per year

t = number of year

NO 1.

P= $600

t = 1

n = 1

r = 6% = 0.06

Using equation 2

FV = 600(1 + 0.06/1)^(1 × 1) = $636

NO 2

P = $600

n = 1

t = 2

r = 0.06

Using equation 2

FV = 600(1 + 0.06/1)^(2 × 1) = $674.16

NO 3.

FV = $600

r = 0.06

t = 1

n = 1

Using equation 1

PV = 600 ÷ (1 + 0.06/1)^(1 × 1) = $566.04

NO 4.

FV = $600

r = 0.06

n = 1

t = 2

Using equation 1

PV = 600 ÷ (1 + 0.06/1)^(2 × 1) = $534

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
