ENGINEERING ECONOMY - EXAMPLE 7.1 : In engineering economy, the future value of first year is FV = PV (1 + i). For second year it is FV = PV (1 + i) (1 + i). For third year it is FV = PV (1 + i) (1 + i)(1 + i) where FV = future value, PV = present value, i = interest rate per period, n = the number of compounding periods. By induction, what is the future value of $1000 for 5 years at the interest rate of 6 %?
