Q:

At 3% annual interest compounded monthly, how long will it take to double your money?

A) 20.1 B) 21.1
C) 22.1 D) 23.1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 23.1

Explanation:

At first glance it might seem that this problem cannot be solved because we do not have enough
information. It can be solved as long as you double whatever amount you start with. If we start with
$100, then P = $100 and FV = $200.

FV=P(1+r/n)^nt

Q:

If you deposit $4000 into an account paying 6% annual interest compounded quarterly, how much money will be in the account after 5 years ?

A) 3387.42 B) 4387.42
C) 5387.42 D) 6387.42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5387.42

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for calculating compound interest depends on several factors. These factors include the amount of money deposited called the principal, the annual interest rate (in decimal form), the number of times the money is compounded per year, and the number of years the money is left in the bank.

 FV=p1+rnnt

 

FV = Future value of the Deposit

 

p = Principal or Amount of Money deposited

 

r = Annual Interest Rate (in decimal form )

 

n = No of times compounded per year

 

t = time in years

FV=40001+0.0644(5)= 5387.42
