John and Randy are competing to see who can accumulate more money. They are both given $100 to deposit into an account and see who has more after a year. John decides to deposit his whole amount into an account that pays interest at a rate of 3%, compounded continuously and withdraws it at the end of the year. Randy puts his money into an account that earns interest at 3% compounded semiannually, and after half a year, pulls out all his money and puts it in another account that earns interest at 4% compounded semiannually. Who has more money at the end of the year, and by how much?
