The Company deposits $6,900 in an account that earns interest at an annual rate of 8%, compounded quarterly. The $6,900 plus earned interest must remain in the account 3 years before it can be withdrawn. How much money will be in the account at the end of 3 years?

$8750.87

Explanation:

This is compound interest problem. The formula used to solve this would be:

Where

F is the future value (what we want, after 3 years)

P is the initial value (given 6900)

r is the rate of interest per period

here, 8% per year, so 8/4 = 2% per period (since compounded per quarter)

t is the time (3 years and compounding per year so times of compounding is 3*4 = 12), so t = 12

Substituting, we get our

There will be about $8750.87 at the account at the end of 3 years!

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
