Over 2 years, how much more does $2000 in a savings account with an APR of 4.2% compounded semiannually earn in interest than the same amount in a savings account with an APR of 3.6% compounded monthly? A. $24.29 B. $12.15 C. $6.07 D. $48.58

Respuesta :

Below is the solution:

 A = 2000[1 + (.042/2)]^(2*2) 
A = 2173.366476962 
A = 2173.37 
I = 2173.37 - 2000 
I = 173.37 

A = 2000[1 + (.036/12)]^(12*2) 
A = 2149.0790382667085294501721261072 
A = 2149.08 
I = 2149.08 - 2000 
I = 149.08 

173.37 - 149.08 = 24.29
