If $3000 is invested at 9% interest, compounded annually, then after n years the investment is worth an = 3000(1.09)n dollars. (

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The first five terms of the sequence are:

First year: $3270.00

Second year: $3564.30

Third year: $3885.09

Fourth year: $4234.75

Fifth year: $4615.87

Explanation:

When we're dealing with compound interest rates we're dealing with interests being re-invested into the original investment. This means that the new interests of one period will bear interests in the next period. This can be simply calculated using the compound interest formula.

The formula for compound interest rates is $P(1+i)^{n}$

Where:

P is the principal amount being invested,

i is the interest rate,

n is the number of years.

So for the first year we replace in the formula with the given values:

3000 × $(1.09)^{1}$ = $3270

And for the rest of the years we only need to modify the value of n.

For the second year we'd have:

3000 × $(1.09)^{2}$ = $3564.3

And so on.

To stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve decides that the amount of money in circulation

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Lower the reserve requirement ratio

Explanation:

Stimulating the economy requires expansionary monetary policies. These are the actions that increase the money supply in the economy. When there is an increase in the money supply, people and businesses have more money to spend. An increase in spending means a higher demand for goods and services, which motivates increased production.

Reserves requirement is the proposition of customer deposits that commercial banks retain in their custody at all times. A reduction in the reserve requirement ratio implies that banks can loan out a larger proportion of customer deposits. The amount of money available for banks to issue out as loan increases. An increase in lending adds to the money supply in the economy, which, in turn, stimulates economic activities.
