Question

write two examples where compound interest is applied ​

Answer 1

If an amount of $5,000 is deposited into a savings account at an annual interest rate of 5%, compounded monthly, the value of the investment after 10 years can be calculated as follows...

P = 5000.

r = 5/100 = 0.05 (decimal).

n = 12.

t = 10.

If we plug those figures into the formula, we get the following:

A = 5000 (1 + 0.05 / 12) (12 * 10) = 8235.05.

So, the investment balance after 10 years is $8,235.05.
