Question on calculation of FV - The Punters Lounge

Hopefully this is posted in the right section.

With a start bank of $1000, how much would it grow to in 365 days if 1% is compounded daily?

Thanks for any replies

Muppet gave the wrong answer. The correct answer is $37,783.43

koochak is right. Your question is quite simple really: a daily increase by 1% means that you should just put the number 1.01 to the power of 365.

I hate to be an "anorak"

.... but you could both be right... it depends how you interpret the first 2 days. If you start with a bank of $1,000 on Day 1, and don´t apply the 1% interest until Day 2, then the equation would be 1000*(1.01^364) = 37,409.34.... however, if you assume you earn the 1% interest on Day 1, then it would be 1000*(1.01^365) = 37,783.43.

Anyway, what´s $374.09 between friends!
