Your parents invested $1000 into an account when you were born. The account has an interest rate of 6% and compounds monthly (12 times per year). Calculate how much the account would be worth on your 20th birthday if no other activity took place.

$3,310.20

Explanation:

The applicable formula in this case is

A = P x ( 1 + r )^ n

Where A= amount after 20 years

P is principle amount= $1000

r is interest rate = 6 % or 0.06 per year: monthly interest = 0.06/12

n is number of periods = 12 months x 20 years

A = $1000 x ( 1 + 0.005) ^240

A = $1000x (1.005) ^ 240

A =$1000 x 3.31020447580

A =$3,310.2044

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
