In this question it is given that
And we have to find the value of the given limit
Using properties of limit, first we separate the two functions, that is
Substituting the values of the given limit,
We have here the formula for Compound Interest:
Where:
• A is the accrued amount.
,• P is the Principal (the original amount of money, the starting amount of money).
,• r is the interest rate.
,• n is the number of times per year compounded.
,• t is the time in years.
When we have that n is equal to 12, we are talking here about that the amount of money is being compounded monthly (we have 12 months in a year, 12 periods, n = 12). <em>Therefore, we are dividing the rate, r, by the number of compoundings per year, n, and this is the rate per each new compounding period of time, r/n, and, in this case, n = 12 (monthly interest rate). </em>
Therefore, in few words, the fraction (0.04/12) is the monthly interest rate (option C).
[If we see the other options, we have:
• The daily interest rate would be given by 0.04/365.
,• How long the money has been in the account is time, t.
,• The starting balance in the account is the Principal, P. ]
