Chapter 1, Problem 25P
To attract new customers, EP Employees Credit Union advertised that they will begin paying 3% interest every quarter on all savings accounts. (Their competitors pay interest every 6 months.) The credit union uses March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st as quarterly interest periods. Determine (a) the end-of period totals in the account, and (b) the interest paid each quarter on the total. Assume there are no withdrawals and that quarterly interest is not redeposited.

A bank features a savings account that has an annual percentage rate of r = 2.9% with interest
compounded semi-annually. Chris deposits $4,000 into the account.
The account balance can be modeled by the exponential formula S(t)
P =
n
future value, P is the present value, r is the annual percentage rate, n is the number of times each year
that the interest is compounded, and t is the time in years.
(A) What values should be used for P, r, and n?
r =
n =
nt
r
= P(1 + where S is the
(B) How much money will Chris have in the account in 9 years?
Answer = $
Round answer to the nearest penny.
"
(C) What is the annual percentage yield (APY) for the savings account? (The APY is the actual or effective
annual percentage rate which includes all compounding in the year).
APY =
Round answer to 3 decimal places.
Compute the interest rate if future value (FV) = $11461, present value (FV) = $3959, and number of years (t) = 8.
You have borrowed $10,000 from a bank with the understanding that you will pay it off with a lump sum of $12,000 after 2 years. Find theannual rate of interest on this loan.
