    Important Information About Fixed Rate

    For a fixed rate, a fixed principal amount, and a fixed compounding cycle, the return is an exponential function of time. Using the formula, A=P [1+r/n}^nt, let r = 10%, P=1, and n= 1 and give the coordinates (t,a) for the points where t= 0,1,2,3,4. Round the A value to the tenth's place. a. show coordinates in this space.

    Suppose you deposit $10,000 for 2 years at a rate of 10%. Calculate the return (A) if the bank compounds quarterly (n=4). Round your answer to the hundredth's place. Now calculate the return (A) if the bank compounds monthly (n=12). Now calculate the return (A) if the bank compounds daily (n=365)
