Answer:

Principal in Account A: $16.67

Principal in Account B: $33.33

Account B earned the most interest in the first month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the simple interest formula: I = Prt

"I" represents total interest earned

"P" is principal, the starting amount

"r" is the rate of interest in decimal form. Find this by dividing percentage by 100.

"t" is the time where interest was earned

Substitute all the information you know into the equation. Then isolate "P" to find the principal. Next, use the formula to calculate the interest for 1 month.

<u>Account A</u>

t = 15

I = 9.25

r = 3.7%   ==> Convert to decimal: 3.7/100 = 0.037

Find principal:

I = Prt

9.25 = P(0.037)(15)

9.25 = 0.555P    <=Divide both sides by 0.555

P = 16.67

First month interest:

I = Prt

I = 16.67(0.037)(1)

I = 0.62

<u>Account B</u>

t = 27

I = 21.60

r = 2.4%   ==> Convert to decimal: 2.4/100 = 0.024

Find principal:

I = Prt

21.60 = P(0.024)(27)

21.60 = 0.648P    <= Divide both sides by 0.648

P = 33.33

First month interest:

I = Prt

I = 33.33(0.024)(1)

I = 0.80

The first month interest in Account B was more than in Account A.

0.80 > 0.62

Therefore, the principal in Account A is $16.67. The principal in Account B is $33.33. Account B earned the most interest in the first month.

Suppose you buy a CD for $300 that earns 3% APR and is compounded quarterly. The CD matures in 3 years. How much will this CD be
andrew-mc [135]

Given: Principal Amount (P) = $300

The rate of interest (r) = (3/4) compounded quarterly.

No. quarters in 3 years (n) = 3×4 = 12

To find: The amount for the CD on maturity. Let it will be (A)

Formula: Compound Amount (A) = P [ 1 + (r ÷100)]ⁿ

Now,   (A) = P [ 1 + (r ÷100)]ⁿ

or,            = $300 [ 1 + (3 ÷400)]¹²

or,            = $300 × [ 403 ÷ 400]¹²

or,            = $300 × 1.0938069

or,            = $ 328.14

Hence, the correct option will be C. $328.14
