Deposit $625 into a money market account with a 5% rate for 1 year would result in more money.

The interest rate of the bank

To do this, we make use of 1.50% interest rate

The exponential growth equation

Here, we have:

Initial, a= 625

Rate, r = 1.5%

The exponential growth equation is

A(t) = a * (1 + r)^t

So, we have:

A(t) = 625 * (1 + 1.5%)^t

Evaluate

A(t) = 625 * 1.015^t

Hence, the exponential growth equation is A(t) = 625 * 1.015^t

The value in 25 years

Here, t = 25.

So, we have:

A(25) = 625 * 1.015^25

Evaluate

A(25) = 906.84

Hence, the value in 25 years is $906.84

The investment with more money

#Investment A

a = 625

r = 1.5%

t = 5

So, we have:

A(5) = 625 * 1.015^5

Evaluate

A(5) = 673.3

#Investment B

a = 625

r = 5%

t = 1

So, we have:

A(1) = 625 * 1.5^1

Evaluate

A(1) = 937.5

By comparison, 937.5 is greater than 673.3

Hence, deposit $625 into a money market account with a 5% rate for 1 year would result in more money.
