To determine the compound amount of an investment of $10,000 with an interest rate of 6% compounded monthly after 4 years requires you to use a table factor that goes beyond the Compound Interest Table. Calculate the new table factor for this investment. (Points : 2.5)

amount = 10000(1 + 0.06/12)^(4*12)=$12704.89

5. Now, using the new table factor from the previous question, calculate the compound amount for the $10,000 investment. (Points : 2.5)

Compound amount=@12,704.89-$10,000=$2,704.89

6. Compute the amount of compound interest earned in 1 year for an investment of $1,000,000 with a nominal interest rate of 8% compounded quarterly. (Points : 2.5)

amount==$1,000,000*(1+8%/4)^4 = $1,082,432.16. So compound interest = $1,082,432.16 - $1,000,000 = $82432.16

7. Compute the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for the investment in ...
