Saving account B because it has more compounding periods per year
Quarterly means 4 times per year
Semiannual means 2 times per year

Answer:

Savings account B offers the higher APY.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the principal amount be 1000 and time be 1 year.

We are told that savings account A and savings account B both offer APR's of 4%, but savings account A compounds interest semiannually, while savings account B compounds interest quarterly.

We will use compound interest formula to answer our given problem.

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nT}, where,

A= Final amount after T years.

P= Principal amount.

r= Annual interest rate in decimal form.

n= Number of times interest in compounding per year.

T= Time in years.

Let us find amount that savings account A will give after 1 year.

Semiannually means twice a year, so n will be 2.

4\%=\frac{4}{100}=0.04

A=1000(1+\frac{0.04}{2})^{2\cdot 1}

A=1000(1+0.02)^{2}

A=1000(1.02)^{2}  

A=1000\times 1.0404

A= 1040.4

Therefore, amount in savings account A after 1 year will be $1040.4.

Now let us figure out amount that savings account B will give after 1 year.

Compounded quarterly means 4 times a year, so n will be 4.

A=1000(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4\cdot 1}

A=1000(1+0.01)^{4}

A=1000(1.01)^{4}

A=1000\times 1.04060401  

A=1040.60401\approx 1040.6      

Therefore, amount in savings account B after 1 year will be $1040.6.

We can see that amount is savings account B is more that account A. Therefore, savings account B offers the highest APY as account B has more compounding periods than account A .

a 50 centermeter piece of wire is bent into a circle what is the area of this circle round to the nearest whole number use 3.14
VikaD [51]
When a wire is bent to form a circle then its length represents the circumference of the circle formed. Therefore in our case the circumference of the circle is 50 cm. we can use this to determine the radius of the circle and then determine the area. Circumference of a circle is given by \pi × diameter, (\pi = 3.142)
thus diameter will be given by 50 cm ÷ 3.142 = 15.9134 cm
the radius will be 15.9134 ÷2 = 7.9567 cm or ≈ 7.96 cm
The area of a circle is given by \pi × square of radius
Area = 3.142 × 7.96×7.96 = 199.0821 square cm
Thus the area of the circle formed is ≈ 199.08 square cm ( 2 decimal places)

If the diameter of the circle is 24 cm, find its area correct to 1 decimal place.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

452.4 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the area formula A = πr².  With d = 24 cm, r = 12 cm, and so the desired area is

A = π(144 cm^2) = 452.4 cm^2
