<span>To help Tyler better understand how his money will increase in an account that uses simple interest and one that uses compound interest, we are going to use two formulas: a simple interest formula for the accounts that use simple interest, and a compound interest formula for the accounts that use compound interest.
- Simple interest formula: </span>
where:
is the final investment value
is the initial investment
is the interest rate in decimal form
is number of years
- Compound interest formula:
where:
is the final investment value
is the initial investment
is the interest rate in decimal form
is he number of years
is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
<span>1.
a. This is a compound interest account, so we are going to use our compound interest formula. We now that </span>
, 
, and since the interest is compounded annually (1 time a year), 
. To find the interest rate in decimal form, we are going to divide it by 100%: 
. Now that we have all the values lets replace them in our compound interest formula:
<span>We can conclude that after 5 years he will have $1824.98 in this account.
b. Here we will use our simple interest formula. We know that </span>, , and . Lets replace those values in our simple interest formula:
We can conclude that after 5 years he will have $1800 in this account.
c. The compound interest account from point a will yield more money than the simple account one from point b. The difference between the tow amounts is
2.
a. Here we are going to use our compound interest formula. We know that
, 
and 
. We also know that the interest is compounded Quaternary (4 times per year), so 
. Now that we have all our values lets replace them into our formula:
We can conclude that after 1 year he will have $2164.86 in this account.
b. Here we are going to use our simple interest formula. We know that, , and . Once again, lets replace those values in our formula:
We can conclude that after 1 year he will have $2160 in this account.
c. The compound interest account from point a will yield more money than the simple account one from point b. The difference between the tow amounts is
3.
a. Since Bank A offers an account with a simple interest, we are going to use our simple interest formula. From the question we know that
, 
, and 
. Now we can replace those values into our formula to get:
Now, to find the interest earned for Bank A we are going to subtract from
We can conclude that <span>the interest earned for Bank A is $336
b. </span>Since Bank B offers an account with a compound interest, we are going to use our compound interest formula. We know that, , 
, and since the interest is compounded annually (1 time a year), . Now that we have all the values, lets replace them in our formula to get:
Now, to find the interest earned for Bank A we are going to subtract from :
We can conclude that the interest earned for Bank B is $337.62
c. Even tough the interest returns between the tow Banks are very similar, Bank B offers a slightly better interest over a period of time, which can make a big difference in the long run. If <span>Tyler wants the earn more money, he definitively should deposit his money in Bank B.
d. </span>The compound interest account from Bank B will yield more money than the simple account one from Bank A The difference between the tow amounts is
- Simple interest formula: </span>
where:
- Compound interest formula:
where:
<span>1.
a. This is a compound interest account, so we are going to use our compound interest formula. We now that </span>

We can conclude that after 5 years he will have $1800 in this account.
