There are three options for investing $1150. The first earns 10% compounded annually, the second earns 10% compounded quarterly, and the third earns 10% compounded continuously. Find equations that model each investment growth and
use a graphing utility to graph each model in the same viewing window over a 20-year period. Use the graph to determine which investment yields the highest return after 20 years. What are the differences in earnings among the three
investment?
STEP 1: The formula for compound interest is
A =
nt
= P(1 + − − ) n²,
where n is the number of compoundings per year, t is the number of years, r is the interest rate, P is the principal, and A is the amount (balance) after t years. For continuous compounding, the formula reduces to
A = Pert
Find r and n for each model, and use these values to write A in terms of t for each case.
Annual Model
r=0.10
A = Y(t) = 1150 (1.10)*
n = 1
Quarterly Model
r = 0.10
n = 4
A = Q(t) = 1150(1.025) 4t
Continuous Model
r=0.10
A = C(t) =…
