The price of the latest incredible iThing from Apple starts at \$200 when it is first released. Every year it gets better but the price goes up 8%. What is the price after 20 years? [You can see problems just like this one in the Gateway Exams section of our website. The screencast shows how to solve this among others].

You can use a formula like this to solve that:

FV = PV x [1 + R]^N, where FV=Future value, PV=Present value, R=Rate(of interest), N= Number of periods.

FV = 200 x [1 + 0.08]^20

FV = 200 x[1.08]^20

FV = 200 x    4.6609571........

FV = \$932.19 - The price of Apple's iThing after 20 years.
