the discrete compounding formula is f = p * (1 + r) ^ n

f is the future value

p is the present value

r is the interest rate per time period

n is then number of time periods

in your problem, you are given:

f = what you want to find

p = 5000

r = 30% per year / 100 = .3 per year (percent / 100 = rate).

n = 3 years

if you compound annually, the formula becomes:

f = 5000 * (1 + .3) ^ 3 = 10985

if you compound quarterly, the formula becomes:

f = 5000 * (1 + .3 / 4) ^ (3 * 4) = 11908.898

if you compound monthly, the formula becomes:

f = 5000 * (1 + .3 / 12) ^ (3 * 12) = 12162.67658

if you compound continuously, a different formula is used.

that formula is f = p * e ^ (r * n)

f is the future value

p is the present value

e is the scientific constant of 2.718281828.......

r is the interest rate per time period

n is the number of time periods.

with this formula, you leave the time periods in terms of years.

it will make no difference what time periods and compounding periods you use, the answer will be the same.

most of the time you will just give it the interest rate per year and the number of years.

the reason is as follows:

r * n = .3 * 3 = .9 when giving it rate and time in terms of years.

r * n = .3 / 4 * 3 * 4 = .9 when giving it rate and time in terms of quarters.

r * n = .3 / 12 * 3 * 12 = .9 when giving it rate and time in terms of months.

in your problem, the formula becomes f = 5000 * e ^ (.3 * 3) = 12298.01556.

the more compounding periods per year, the higher the future value.

the highest is when you compound continuously.

this is apparent from the data.

satela [25.4K]

Answer: B) Infinitely many solutions; both equations are equivalent

==============================================================

Work Shown:

x+y = 4 ... start with the first equation

x + (-x+4) = 4 ... replace y with (-x+4)

x-x+4 = 4

0x+4 = 4

0+4 = 4

4 = 4 ... this is a true statement regardless of what x you pick

So there are infinitely many solutions. Each solution (x,y) is of the form (x,-x+4). All solutions fall on the line y = -x+4 which is equivalent to x+y = 4. Note how we add x to both sides.

Or you could start with x+y = 4 and subtract x from both sides to get y = -x+4. Either way, we're dealing with the same equation which is why they both graph out the same line.

If i have $50 dollars and get $20 dollars a week how much money do i nees to save to get $200 in a month?
ipn [44]
200-50= 150
So you need to get 150 dollars in a month. If you get 20 dollars a week, then 150/20 will give you 7.5. So it will take you 7.5 weeks to get 150 dollars
