You have $2500 to invest in an account that earns 3.6% interest per year compounded monthly. How
much money will you have in your account after 9 months?
$2568.00
A = P [ ( 1 + r/n ) ^ nt ]
A = 2500 [ ( 1 + [ 0. ] ) ^ (12)(0.75) ]
A = 2500 [ ( 1 + 0.003 ) ^ 9 ]
A = 2500 [ (1.003) ^ 9 ]
A = 2500 (1.027326278)
A = $2568.315696
A ≈ $2568.32
You would like to buy a laptop for $1370. You are offered a payment option where there is no
payment for the first six months, but the $1370 must be repaid at the end of that time with an annual
simple interest rate of 20.4%. Find the total cost.
$1509.74
I = Prt
I = (1370) (0.204) (6/12)
I = (1370) (0.204) (0.5)
I = $139.74
C=P+I
C = 1370 + 139.74
C = 1509.74
You have accumulated a balance of $2200 on a credit card that has an annual interest rate of 21.9%.
Assume that no additional purchases are made using this credit card.
How much will you need to pay each month to pay off the balance over 9 months?
Q = P * { (r/n) / [ 1 - [ ( 1 + r/n) ^ -nt ] ] }
Q = 2200 * {(0.219/12)/[ 1 - [( 1 + 0.219/12)] ^ - (12) (0.75)]]}
Q = 2200 * { (0.01825) / [ 1 - [ ( 1 + 0.01825) ] ^ -9 ] ] }
Q = 2200 * { (0.01825) / [ 1 - ( 1.01825 ^ -9 ) ] }
Q = 2200 * { (0.01825) / [ 1 - 0.84978729 ] }
Q = 2200 * { 0..15021271 }
Q = 2200 * 0.1214943795
Q = $267.2876349
Q ≈ $267.29
