Problem 1 :
You deposit $3500 into an account that earns 2.5% annual interest. Find the balance after one year if the interest is compounded with the given frequencies:
a. Annually:
b. Quarterly:
c. Monthly:
Solution:
Given, P = $3500, r = 2.5% = 0.025, t = 1
a.
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Here n = 1
A = 3500(1 + 0.025/1)1(1)
= 3500(1.025)
= $3587.50
b.
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Here n = 4
A = 3500(1 + 0.025/4)4(1)
= 3500(1.00625)4
= $3588.32
c.
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Here n = 12
A = 3500(1 + 0.025/12)12(1)
= 3500(1.025)
= $3588.36
Problem 2 :
You deposit $500 into account that earns 1.1% annual interest. Find the balance after three years if the interest is compounded with the given frequencies:
a. Daily:
b. Semiannually:
c. Quarterly:
Solution:
Given, P = $500, r = 1.1% = 0.011, t = 3
a.
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Here n = 365
A = 500(1 + 0.011/365)3(365)
= $516.78
b.
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Here n = 2
A = 500(1 + 0.011/2)3(2)
= 500(1.033)
A = $516.73
c.
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Here n = 4
A = 500(1 + 0.011/4)3(4)
= 500(1.033)
A = $516.75
Problem 3 :
You deposit your PFD worth $878 into a savings account that yields 0.15% (currently the rate for Alaska USA Credit Union's saving account). Suppose the interest is compounded monthly. How much money will be in the account after 4 years if you do not spend any of the money?
Solution:
Given, P = $878, r = 0.15%, t = 4

Solution:
Problem 5 :

Solution:
Problem 6 :

Solution:
Problem 7 :

Solution:
After 1 year:
After 10 years:
