    PV and FV Calculator

    You were asked to invest $60,000 into a business and it was guaranteed to you that you'll be paid $600/month for 15yrs with an annual interest rate of 6%/yr. Is this a good investment?


    Potential Investment: Health Food Store
    Investment Amount $60,000.00
    Annual Interest Rate 6%
    Term (Years) 15
    Payment $600.00

    Present Value ??????
    Is this a good investment? ?????


    Using a PV calculator I found the PV=$71,102.11 which means it's a good investment. Am I correct?

    Potential Investment: Savings Plan
    Annual Interest Rate 1.25%
    Term (Years) 3
    Monthly Deposit 1000
    Future Value ?????
    Interest Earned ?????


    Using FV calculator I got FV=$36,664.06, Interest Earned=$664.06
    Am I right?

    Thanks in advance.

    Look at the IRR and XIRR functions.

    This is a simple linear approach: See attachement
