period from January 16 to November 26, 1992, if the rate of interest is 24%?
What is the value of the principal at the end of the period?

I = Pin
I = 1,200 (24%) (

F=P+I
10 ( 30 ) +10
)
360

I = 248.00

F = 1,200 + 248
F = 1,448.00

Assignment #4: Suppose that an investor wishes to deposit an amount now
so that in thirty years 1,000,000 will be in an account that pays 10%
interest per year compounded annually. What amount must be deposited
now?
