complete the table for a savings account subject to 360 compounding yearly.
let A represent the accumulated amount, P the amount invested, n the number of compounding periods, r the annual interest rate, and t the time. find the annual interest rate, r.
r= ___%
(do not round until the final answer. then round to one decimal place as needed)
Solution
A = 1300
P = 700
t = 3*360 = 1080 bcoz we are compounding daily
r = r/360
A = P(1 + r)^t
1300 = 700(1 + r/360)^(1080)
13/7 = (1 + r/360)^1080
(13/7)^(1/1080) = 1 + r/360
1.0005733487538264 = 1 + r/360
So,
r = 0.2% annual rate ---> ANS
