The focus here is the use of "Compounding interest rate" and these entails addition of interest to the principal sum of the deposit.
- Tyra will definitely prefer the Account 2 over the Account 1
- Tyra balance from account 2 over 3.7 years is $6,261.37
The below calculation is to derive maturity value when annual rate of 3.1% is applied.
Principal = $5,400
Annual rate = 3.1% semi-annually for 1 years
A = P(1+r/m)^n*t where n=1, t=2
A = 5,400*(1 + 0.031/2)^1*2
A = 5,400*(1.0155)^2
A = 5,400*1.03124025
A = 5568.69735
A = $5,568.70.
In conclusion, the accrued value she will get after one years for this account is $5,568.70,
- The below calculation is to derive maturity value when the amount compounds continuously at an annual rate of 4%
Principal = $5,400
Annual rate = 4% continuously
A = P.e^rt where n=1
A = 5,400 * e^(0.04*1)
A = 5,400 * 1.04081077419
A = 5620.378180626
A = 5620.378180626
A = $5,620.39.
In conclusion, the accrued value she will get after one years for this account is $5,620.39.
Referring to how much would Tyra's balance be from Account 2 over 3.7 years. It is calculated as follows:
Annual rate = 4% continuously
A = P.e^rt where n=3.7
A = 5,400 * e^(0.04*3.7)
A = 5,400 * e^0.148
A = 5,400 * 1.15951289636
A = 6261.369640344
A = $6,261.37
Therefore, the accrued value she will get after 3.7 years for this account is $6,261.37
