The same amount of principal is invested in different accounts earning the same interest rate. Which of the following accounts w
Sophie [7]
D.) An account earning interest compounded daily.

This is the account that would have the greatest accumulated value at the end of one year.

Let us assume the following figures.
Principal = 1,000
Interest rate = 12% p.a.
Term 1 year 

a) account earning no interest = 1,000
b) account earning simple interest
S.I. = 1,000 x 12% x 1 = 120 
Balance = 1000 + 120= 1,120
c) account earning interest compounded annually
FV = 1,000 (1+.12)¹
FV = 1,000 (1.12)
FV = 1,120
d) account compounded daily
FV = 1,000 (1 + .12/365)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1 + 0.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.128)
FV = 1,128
