    The question is somewhat confusing. i do no longer understand what 'usually used quantity' is touching on. i visit bypass over that throughout my calculation. i assume that the pastime is compounded in keeping with annum. So it relatively is 8% in keeping with annum. For compound pastime, we use this formula: A = P ( a million + R/one hundred )^n ...the place A = very final quantity P = the quantity invested, pointed out as the first R = cost (without the %) n = style of cases the quantity is compounded. So on your question, you're looking A. the different values are already given: P = 20,000 R = 8 n = a million (on condition that your investment is compounded as quickly as a 365 days) So enable's enter the cost to get the respond: A = P ( a million + R/one hundred )^n = 20,000 ( a million + 8/one hundred )^a million = 20,000 ( a million + 0.08 ) = 20,000 ( a million.08 ) = 21600 So the respond is C. $21,six hundred.

    A = Pe^(rt)

    A = 3000e^(0.02)(12) = $3813.75

    A = 3000e^(0.03)(12) = $4299.99

    A = 3000e^(0.045)(12) = $5148.02

    A = 3000e^(0.08)(12) = $7835.09
