I have consumated business with Google Researchers in the past and am always satisfied. This question is simple but requires historical interest rates. Question: What would be the value of $29.00 today, or to make it simple,at the end of 2002, if we could compound the $29.00 each year,starting in January 1,1972 to 12/31/2002. I would like to use an average savings bank interest rate for each year,and I would like it compounded,from year to year. |

Dear automata, Thanks for your question. First, let me request that if any of the following is unclear or if you require any further research – please don’t hesitate to ask me for a clarification. You requested the value of $29 “invested” on January 1, 1972 and compounded annually. I extracted end-of-year annual interest rates from – http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/data/a/prime.txt These are bank prime rates. Let me know if you would like to run the calculation using a different interest rate – you can see the menu of interest rates for which the Federal Reserve maintains historical data at – http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/data.htm The calculation is as follows – Year Interest Rate Compound Value 1/1/72 - $29.00 1972 5.25 $30.52 1973 8.03 $32.97 1974 10.81 $36.54 1975 7.86 $39.41 1976 6.84 $42.11 1977 6.83 $44.98 1978 9.06 $49.06 1979 12.67 $55.27 1980 15.26 $63.71 1981 18.87 $75.73 1982 14.85 $86.97 1983 10.79 $96.36 1984 12.04 $107.96 1985 9.93 $118.68 1986 8.33 $128.57 1987 8.21 $139.12 1988 9.32 $152.09 1989 10.87 $168.62 1990 10.01 $185.50 1991 8.46 $201.19 1992 6.25 $213.77 1993 6 $226.59 1994 7.15 $242.79 1995 8.83 $264.23 1996 8.27 $286.08 1997 8.44 $310.23 1998 8.35 $336.13 1999 8 $363.02 2000 9.23 $396.53 2001 6.91 $423.93 2002 4.67 $443.73 So, the final answer is $443.73. I hope this response adequately addresses your request. Please let me know if you are in need of additional information concerning this query. Thanks, ragingacademic-ga |
