MATH people...continuous growth!!! THanks!?

Ok,



so these two I%26#039;m confused on too...it%26#039;s for a PRE-test so it%26#039;s worth really nothing



29. Rank the following three bank deposit options from best to worst.



-Bank A: 7% compounded daily



-Bank B: 7.1% compounded monthly



-Bank C: 7.05% compunded continuously



LASTLY



28.



Three different investments:



a) Find the balance of each of the investments after the 2 year period.



b) rank them from best to worst in terms of rate of return. (PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ALSO!!!...thanks!)



-A. $875 deposited at 13.5% per year compounded daily for 2 yrs.



-B. $1000 deposited at 6.7% per year compounded continuously for 2 years.



-C. $1050 deposited @ 4.5% per year compounded monthly for 2 yrs.



Please show all work so that i understand it. Thanks!



MATH people...continuous growth!!! THanks!?auto financing





29. You just need to examine the growth parts of the compound interest formulas:



A= P(1 + r/n)^(nt) growth rate is (1 + r/n)^(nt)



-Bank A: 7% compounded daily, let t = 1 year



(1 + .07/365)^(365) = 1.0725



-Bank B: 7.1% compounded monthly



(1+ .071/12)^12 = 1.07336



and for continuous compounding



A = Pe^(rt) growth rate is e^(rt)



-Bank C: 7.05% compunded continuously



e^.0705 = 1.07304



best to worst: B,A, C



28. -A. $875 deposited at 13.5% per year compounded daily for 2 yrs.



A = 875(1+.135/365)^(365*2)



A = $1146.16



-B. $1000 deposited at 6.7% per year compounded continuously for 2 years.



A= Pe^(rt)



A = 1000 e^(.067 * 2)



A = $1146.39



-C. $1050 deposited @ 4.5% per year compounded monthly for 2 yrs



A = 1050(1 + .045/12)^(12*2)



A = $1148. 69



b) rate of returns, compare the growth parts again (part multiplied to the principal)



Bank A: (1+.135/365)^(365*2) = 1.3099



Bank B: e^(.067 *2) = 1.1434



Bank C: (1 + .045/12)^(12*2) = 1.09399



best to worst: A, B, C



You can also see that Bank A was only 23 cents shy of Bank B after 2 years, but started with $125 less. So Bank A got better return. Bank C had about $2 more than the others after 2 years, but started with an extra $50
