Answer:
$14,343.25
Explanation:
First city bank pays 8% simple interest in a savings account
Second city bank pays 8% interest compounded annually
$68,000 is deposited deposited in each of the bank
The first step is to calculate the simple interesr per year of first city bank
= principal × rate
= 68,000 × 8/100
= 68,000 × 0.08
= 5,440
The interest earned for the period of 8 years can be calculated as follows.
= 5,440 × 8
= 43,520
The balance at the end of 8 years can be calculated as follows
= 68,000 + 43,520
= 111,520
The next step is to calculate the future value of second city bank
= principal × (1+R)^n
= 68,000 × (1+8%)^8
= 68,000 × (1+0.08)^8
= 68,000 × 1.08^8
= 68,000 × 1.85093021
= 125,863.25
Therefore the amount of money earned from second city bank at the end of 8 years can be calculated as follows
= 125,863.25-111,520
= 14343.25
Hence the money that was earned from second city bank at the end of 8 years is $14,343.25
