9) The formula for calculating the amount of money returned for an initial deposit into a bank account or CD (certificate of deposit) is given by

A is the amount of the return.
P is the principal amount initially deposited.
r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal).
n is the number of compound periods in one year.
t is the number of years.

Carry all calculations to six decimals on each intermediate step, then round the final answer to the nearest cent.

Suppose you deposit $3,000 for 9 years at a rate of 6%.

a) Calculate the return (A) if the bank compounds annually (n = 1). Round your answer to the hundredth's place.
Answer:
Show work in this space. Use ^ to indicate the power or use the Equation Editor in MS Word.

b) Calculate the return (A) if the bank compounds quarterly (n = 4). Round your answer to the hundredth's place.
Answer:

c) Does compounding annually or quarterly yield more interest? Explain why.
Answer:

Explain:

d) If a bank compounds continuously, then the formula used is
where e is a constant and equals approximately 2.7183.
Calculate A with continuous compounding. Round your answer to the hundredth's place.
Answer:

e) A commonly asked question is, "How long will it take to double my money?" At 6% interest rate and continuous compounding, what is the answer? Round your answer to the hundredth's place.
Answer:
