Determine the total amount and the interest paid on $3000 with interest compounded quarterly for 5 years at a) 2%. b) 4%. c) 8%. d) Is there a predictable outcome in either the amount or the interest when the rate is doubled? a) The total amount accumulated at 2% is $ . (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) The interest paid at 2% is $ . (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) b) The total amount accumulated at 4% is $ . (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) The interest paid at 4% is $ . (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) c) The total amount accumulated at 8% is $ . (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) The interest paid at 8% is $ . (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) d) Is the outcome predictable? A. Yes, the total amount doubles if the interest rate doubles. B. Yes, the interest increases by half if the interest rate doubles.

Use the compound interest formulas A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) and A = Pert to solve the problem given. Round answers to the nearest cent. Find the accumulated value of an investment of $10,000 for 7 years at an interest rate of 4% if the money is: a. compounded semiannually; b. compounded quarterly; c. compounded monthly; d. compounded continuously. a. What is the accumulated value if the money is compounded semiannually? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) b. What is the accumulated value if the money is compounded quarterly? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) c. What is the accumulated value if the money is compounded monthly? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) d. What is the accumulated value if the money is compounded continuously? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

EXTENSION: COMPOUND INTEREST What is the value of an $\$ 8000$ investment after 5 years if it earns $8 \%$ annual interest compounded quarterly? To solve, use the compound interest formula, $A=P(1+i)^{n}$ where $P$ is the original value of the investment, $i$ is the interest rate per compounding period, $n$ is the total number of compounding periods, and $A$ is the value of the investment after $n$ periods. a.) What is the interest rate per quarter? b.) How many compounding periods (quarters) are there in 5 years? c.) Use the formula $A=P(1+i)^{n}$ to find the value of the investment after 5 years.
