How Much Would $500 Invested at 6 Yield?

The question, “How much would $500 invested at 6 yield?” There are many answers. First, we can estimate the annual rate by computing the difference between the initial balance and the final balance of the account. If we assume a 6.0% annual rate, $500 will yield $600 if it is invested over 6 years. Next, we can calculate the final balance, using a constant r. If we invest $500 at 6 years and assume that the interest rate is 6% per year, then the future value of $0.5k will be $1,300.
