Answer:

a. $955.20

b. $2.7579 x 10¹⁷

Explanation:

a. Simple interest

The value in 2014 of the investment at a 10% simple interest rate is:

S= \$24 + \$24*0.10*(2014-1626)\\S=\$955.20

b. Compound interest

The value in 2014 of the investment at a 10% compound interest rate is:

C= \$24(1.10)^{(2014-1626)}\\C=\$2.7579*10^{17}
