Max Function

Statistical function is of many categories. One of them is a MAX function. The MAX function returns the largest value from the list of arguments passed to it. MAX function always ignores the empty cells when performing the calculation.

Power Function

A power function is a type of single-term function. Its definition states that it is a variable containing a base value raised to a constant value acting as an exponent. This variable may also have a coefficient. For instance, the area of a circle can be…

Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 16PC

Present Value

Suppose you want to deposit a certain amount of money into a savings account, and then leave it alone to draw interest for the next 10 years. At the end of 10 years, you would like to have $10,000 in the account. How much do you need to deposit today to make that happen? You can use the following formula, which is known as the present value formula, to find out:

P = F ( 1 + r ) n

The terms in the formula are as follows:

P is the present value, or the amount that you need to deposit today.
F is the future value that you want in the account. (In this case, F is $10,000.)
r is the annual interest rate.
n is the number of years that you plan to let the money sit in the account.

Write a method named presentValue that performs this calculation. The method should accept the future value, annual interest rate, and number of years as arguments. It should return the present value, which is the amount that you need to deposit today. Demonstrate the method in a program that lets the user experiment with different values for the formula’s terms.
