FVSCHEDULE
Returns the future value of a lump sum, with changing future interest rates.
Syntax:
FVSCHEDULE(principal; interestrates)
- principal: the initial value of the lump sum.
- interestrates: a range or array containing a schedule of interest rates which apply each period.
- FVSCHEDULE calculates the future value by applying each interest rate in turn, and compounding. The formula is:
- principal * (1+rate1) * (1+rate2) *(1+rate3) * ...
- where ratei is the ith interest rate in interestrates.
Example:
FVSCHEDULE(1000; {.05; .06; .07})
- returns 1,190.91, the future value of 1000 in 3 years time, where you believe the appropriate interest rates will be 5% in the first year, 6% in the second year and 7% in the third year.
