    Present value (P) = $9,600

    Number of years (n) = 12 years

    Interest rate (r) = 4% = 0.04

    Future value (FV) = ?

    FV = P (1 + r) n

    FV = $9,600 (1 + 0.04) 12

    FV = $9,600 (1.04) 12

    FV = $9,600 x 1.6010

    FV = $15,370

    In this case, there is need to compound the security deposit of $9,600 for 12 years at 4% interest rate per annum. The formula for future value of a lump sum (Single investment) is applied.
