Answer:
not sure which is the origional-
if the big one is the origiinal, then 1/2
if the small one is the origional- then 2-1
Due to the difference in the interest rate and the quarterly compounding, Joshua will have $212.24 more than Josiah.
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Joshua:
Initial investment (PV)= $750
Interest rate (i)= 0.0341/4= 0.008525
Number of periods (n)= 18*4= 72 quarters
Josiah:
Initial investment (PV)= $750
Interest rate (i)= 0.0285
Number of periods (n)= 18 years
To calculate the future value of each one, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1 + i)^n
Joshua:
FV= 750*(1.008525^72)
FV= $1,381.98
Josiah:
FV= 750*(1.0285^18)
FV= $1,169.74
Due to the difference in the interest rate and the quarterly compounding, Joshua will have $212.24 more than Josiah.
6 divided by 1/4 = 24 + 12 divided by 1/4 = 48, then 48 + 24 = 72
