You should try with Penny Stocks Trading (you can find more info here: http://pennystocks.toptips.org)
Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share.
I've been subscribing to this PennyStock web site for about a year now and have loved the objective advice they give. He really does look for quality stocks and I've made some pretty nice profits on a lot of his suggestions. Being still fairly new to investing I have been dabbling a lot in penny stocks to try and grow my account. I may not have a big account, but it's a lot bigger than it was a year ago. On just one of Nathan's picks this year I managed to make my investment back ten-fold! Be careful! Penny stocks are notoriously risky but if you follow the right method the risk is almost 0. I suggest to invest only little money first and then reinvest the profits. This is the site I'm using: http://pennystocks.toptips.org
Bye Bye
15,000 * 0.05 = 750
Since the question states "to keep calculations simple..." I am going to assume you have not been taught how to calculate a Future Value annuity "FVod". That said, I'll use "simple" math.
The first $750 is invested for 3 years, the 2nd $750 for 2 years and the 3rd $750 for 1 year.
750(1.05^3) + 750(1.05^2) + 750(1.05)
= 868.22 + 826.88 + 787.50
= $2,482.59
FYI: FVad = {PMT [((1 + i)^n - 1) / i]} * (1 + i)
= {750[1.05^3) - 1) / 0.05)} * 1.05
= {750(1.15763 - 1) / 0.05)} * 1.05
= {750(3.1525)} * 1.05
= 2,364.675* 1.05
= $2,482.59
Now just repeat for the other scenarios....
15,000 * 0.10 = $1,500....and 15,000 * 0.15 = $2,250
Your income is $15,000.
Calculate the total amount you would have if you saved 5% of your income for three years in an investment that paid 5% compound interest each year. (To keep calculations simple, assume you can put the 5% away at the beginning of the year.) Repeat the calculations if you saved 10% and 15% of your income.
Please show your work.
