Question
Answer:
1)a) P = 1500, r = 4% = 0.04, n = 5[tex] A = 1500 (1+0.04)^5= 1824.98 [/tex]He shall have $1824.98 in his account after 5 yearsb)Here P = 1500 , r = 4% = 0.04, n = 5 but simple interestSo[tex] I=PRn= 1500(.04)(5)=300 [/tex]Interest = $300 Amount in his account after 5 years = 1500 + 300 = $1800c)First one shall yield a better income and by 1824.98-1800 = $24.982)a)P= $2000, r = 8% = 0.08 so quaterly = 0.08/4 = 0.02, n = 1 year[tex] A = P(1+r)^{4n} Β =2000(1+0.02)^4 =2164.86 [/tex]There shall be $2164.86 after 1 yearb)P = 2000, r= 8%=0.08 and n = 1 for simple interest[tex] I=PRn = 2000(0.08)(1)=160 [/tex]Amount after 1 year shall be 2000 + 160= $2160c)First option is a better option.The difference is 2164.86 - 2160 = $4.863)a)Bank AP= 3200, r = 3.5%= 0.035, n = 3 years for simple interest[tex] I =3200(0.035)(3)=336 Β [/tex]Interest earned in Bank A = $336b) Bank BP = 3200, r = 3.4% = 0.034, n= 3[tex] A= P(1+r)^n=3200(1+0.034)^3=3537.62 [/tex]Interest earned = 3537.62 - 3200 = $337.62c)Tyler must choose Bank B as it fetches greater interestd)The difference in interest = 337.62 - 336 = $1.62
