Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the given values: Present Value (PV) = 823, annual interest rate (r) = 3% or 0.03, and the number of years (n) = 5.
Write down the formula for future value (FV): FV = PV × (1 + r)^n.
Substitute the given values into the formula: FV = 823 × (1 + 0.03)^5.
Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: (1 + 0.03) = 1.03.
Raise 1.03 to the power of 5 and multiply the result by 823 to calculate the future value.
