4) 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 $2,000 for 5 years at a rate of 8%.
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.

Answer:
Show your work in this space:
b) Use this model to determine in how many years (to two decimal places) it will take for the percent of spam to reach 95% provided that law enforcement regarding spammers does not change.
