Q. If $700 is invested at 9% compounded(A) annually,(B) quarterly,(C) monthly,what is the amount after 6 years? How much interest is earned?(A) If it is compounded annually, what is the amount?$1173.97 (Round to the nearest cent.)How much interest is earned?$473.97 (Round to the nearest cent.)(B) If it is compounded quarterly, what is the amount?$\square (Round to the nearest cent.)
Identify values: Identify the values of P, r, n, and t for the quarterly compounding scenario.Principal amount (P) = $700Interest rate (r) = 0.09Compounding periods per year (n) = 4 (since interest is compounded quarterly)Time in years (t) = r1 years
Use compound interest formula: Use the compound interest formula A=P(1+(r/n))(nt) to calculate the amount after 6 years for quarterly compounding.Substitute P=700, r=0.09, n=4, and t=6 into the formula.A=700(1+(0.09/4))(4×6)
Simplify expression and calculate: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses and calculate the exponent.A=700(1+0.0225)24A=700(1.0225)24
Calculate value using calculator: Calculate the value of (1.0225)24 using a calculator.(1.0225)24≈2.0398873
Multiply principal amount: Multiply the principal amount by the calculated value to find the final amount.A=700×2.0398873A≈1427.92111
Round final amount: Round the final amount to the nearest cent. A≈$1427.92
Calculate interest earned: Calculate the interest earned by subtracting the principal from the final amount.Interest earned = A−PInterest earned = 1427.92−700Interest earned = $727.92
