a) The future value, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded 2 times per year over 8 years is <u>$11,949.50</u>.

b) The future value, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded continuously over 8 years is <u>$11,987.29</u>.

<h3>How is the future value determined?</h3>

The future value can be determined using an online finance calculator.

Data and Calculations:

<h3>a) Compounded Semiannually:</h3>

Principal (P): $8,704.56

Annual Rate (R): 4%

Compound (n): Compounding Semi-Annually

Time (t in years): 8 years

<u>Result</u>:

A = $11,949.50

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $8,704.56

I (interest) = $3,244.94

<h3>Calculation Steps:</h3>

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 4/100

r = 0.04 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 8,704.56(1 + 0.04/2)(2)(8)

A = 8,704.56(1 + 0.02)(16)

A = $11,949.50

<h3>b) Compounded Continuously:</h3>

Using the formula A = Pert

Principal (P):  $8,704.56

Annual Rate (R): 4%

Compound (n): Compounding Continuously

Time (t in years):   8 years

<u>Result</u>:

A = $11,987.29

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $8,704.56

I (interest) = $3,282.73

<h3>Calculation Steps:</h3>

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 4/100

r = 0.04 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A, using the mathematical constant, e = 2.71828

A = Pert

A = 8,704.56(2.71828)(0.04)(8)

A = $11,987.29

Thus, while the future value of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded semiannually over 8 years is <u>$11,949.50</u>,  the future value of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded continuously over 8 years is <u>$11,987.29</u>.

A lamp was on sale for 25% off its regular price of $80. Craig had a coupon that took an additional 25%
hram777 [196]

Answer:

$45

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price changed from $80 to 60, then with the coupon another 25% was taken off leading it to come to a price of $45

$80 x .75 = 60

$60 x .75 = 45

(.75 is for the price of the original value that he will be paying later)

Mike travels 13 miles per 2 hours on his bike.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

It took Markus half an hour to drive home from work.  He averaged 34 miles per hour.  How far does Markus live from his work?

Solution

We are given that it takes 1/2 an hour for the trip.  This is a time:

       t  =  1/2

We are given that he averages 34 miles per hour.  This is a rate:

       r  =  34

We are asked how few he has traveled.  This is a distance.  We use the d=rt equation:

       d  =  rt

           =  (34)(1/2)

           =  17

Markus lives 17 miles from work.

Now try one by yourself.  If you want to see the answer, put your mouse on the yellow rectangle and the answer will appear.
