Suppose that 2000 is invested at a rate of 2.4% , compounded semiannually. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, find the total
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

$2479.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The invested amount is $2000 at a rate of 2.4% which compounds semiannually.

Therefore, the semiannual interest rate is \frac{2.4}{2} = 1.2%.

Then the principal is compounded (9 × 2) = 18 times within a period of 9 years.

If there is no withdrawal from the account, then after 9 years the sum will become

2000(1 + \frac{1.2}{100} )^{18} = 2479.02 dollars {Rounded to the nearest cent} (Answer)

Leo paid $2400 in interest on an amount borrowed for 10 years at a 4% annual simple interest rate. How much did Leo borrow?
hodyreva [135]
Answer: $6000

Explanation:

1) Simple interest means that the interests are calcualted over the original amount borrowed and they are the same every year.

2) yearly interest = interest / number of years = $2400 / 10 = $240

3) the yearly interest equals the amount borrowed times the simple intereset rate:

=> $240 = A * 4%

=> $240 = A * 0.04

=> A = $240 / 0.04 = $6000

You can do the same in one step:

interest = A * simple interest rate * number of years

=>  A = interest / [simple interest rate * number of years] = $2400 / [4% * 10]

A = $2400 / (0.04 * 10) = $2400 / 0.4 = $ 6000.

And that is the answer: he borrowed $6000
