Compound interest 2010-04-21
From Kenneth:
Let's say that an investor has $1000.00 to invest for 3 years at a rate of 5% at compound interest. Here is the formula:

M = 1000(1 + 0.05)^3 = $1157.62

If I want to change 1000(1 + 0.05) to (1000 + 0.05*1000) three times in a calculation instead of using (1 +0.05)^3, how would this be done?

I cannot get (1000 + 0.05*1000) + (1000 + 0.05*1000) + (1000 + 0.05*1000) to equal $1157.62.

I know that 1000(1.05)(1.05(1.05) will produce the answer, but I want to try to use the above non-factored calculation.

In order to compare the investments and put them in order of relative profitability, I would want to sort them by their profits as percentages of what? Also, if each investment had an equal probability
