Question
Jackson wants to invest $10 000 for 5 years.a He could choose to earn simple interest paid at a rate of 4.5% per annum.(i) Determine how much he earns in interest each year.(ii) Write a recurrence relation to model the value of the investment fromyear to year. Let 𝑆𝑛 be the value after n years.(iii) Determine the value of the investment after 5 years.(iv) How much interest will Jackson earn over the five years
Solution
(i) To determine how much he earns in interest each year, we use the formula for simple interest which is I = PRT, where I is the interest, P is the principal amount (initial investment), R is the annual interest rate (in decimal form), and T is the time the money is invested for (in years).
In this case, P = $10,000, R = 4.5% = 0.045 (in decimal form), and T = 1 year.
So, I = PRT = 450.
Therefore, Jackson earns $450 in interest each year.
(ii) The recurrence relation to model the value of the investment from year to year would be S_n = S_(n-1) + 450.
(iii) To determine the value of the investment after 5 years, we use the recurrence relation from part (ii). We start with the initial investment of 450 for each of the 5 years.
So, S_5 = 450 = 2,250 = $12,250.
Therefore, the value of the investment after 5 years is $12,250.
(iv) The total interest Jackson will earn over the five years is the difference between the final value of the investment and the initial investment.
So, total interest = S_5 - P = 10,000 = $2,250.
Therefore, Jackson will earn $2,250 in interest over the five years.
