1. Problem Description
As part of the newly created Financial Services Java Team, you have been asked to create an
application that calculates how much interest will be earned in a simple savings account.
The application will be straight forward. It will ask the user for their initial deposit amount, the
annual interest rate, and the number of months for which they intend to leave their savings
untouched. The application will then report the final balance after the number of months
specified.
The future value (FV) for a simple case like this can be calculated using the following formula:
𝐹𝑉 = 𝑃𝑉 × (1 + 𝑖)
𝑛
where n = is the term in number of months, i = monthly interest rate as a decimal (annual interest
rate per year divided by 100 divided by 12), and PV = initial savings amount (present value).
Remember, in Java, raising one number to a power is done using Math.pow().
Ask the user for the following information:
• Initial savings amount
• Number of months to save
• Annual interest rate
2. Notes
• Be very careful that you use the interest rate correctly (re-read the problem description) and
that you are calculating the future value based on monthly interest, not annual (yearly)
interest.
• For your output, round the dollar figures to exactly two decimal points.
• Turn in only your source files.
3. Required Main Class
Savings
4. Required Input
• Initial savings amount as a real number (float or double)
• Number of months to save as an integer
• Annual interest rate as a real number (float or double)
5. Required Output:
Your output should look something like the following example. It should include your name, data
values and calculated future value.
Simple Interest – E. Eckert
What is the initial savings amount? 25000
What is the number of months to save? 24
What is the annual interest rate? 1.05
$25000.00, saved for 24 months at 1.05% will be valued at $25530.31
