Answer 1

42000(1-1.04^n/-0,04)

Explanation:

Answer 2

FV(n)=42,000(1.04)^n

Explanation:

FV=PV(1+r/n)^nt

Where

FV=future value

PV=present value

r=interest rate

n=number of periods

t=time (years)

PV=42,000

r=4%=0.04

n=1

t=n

FV(n)=p(1+r/n)^nt

=42,000(1+0.04/1)^1*n

=420000(1+0.04)^n

=42,000(1.04)^n

FV(n)=42,000(1.04)^n
