Find the following balance:$600 invested at 6% compounded annually for 7 years.
A
$2273.04
B
$1080.57
C
$1057.95
D
$902.18
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For this reason, lenders often like to present interest rates compounded monthly instead of annually. For example, a 6% mortgage interest rate amounts to a monthly 0.5% interest rate. However, after compounding monthly, interest totals 6.17% compounded annually.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solution: We use the present value formula, where A is $20, 000, r is 6% or 0.06, n is 12, and t is 5 years. Approximately $14, 827.45 should be invested today in order to accumulate to $20, 000 in five years.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, The Amount will be Rs. 2163.

Detailed explanation-4: -Poor Credit (300-629):  27-32% Interest Rate. Fair Credit (630-689):  18-22% Interest Rate. Good Credit (690-719):  14-18% Interest Rate. Excellent Credit (720+):  10-14% Interest Rate.
