Determine whether each statement is true or false. You have one submission for each statement. (a) $2000 invested at 2% compounded monthly earns more interest in a year than the same amount invested at 2% compounded weekly. True False (b) $2000 invested at 2% compounded continuously earns more interest in a year than the same amount invested at 2% compounded monthly. True False (c) The present value of $3000 7 years from now invested at 5% compounded monthly is less than the present value of $3000 7 years from now invested at 5% compounded continuously. True False (d) The present value of $3000 7 years from now invested at 5% compounded monthly is less than the present value of $3000 7 years from now invested at 5% compounded semiannually. True False

3. Calculate the total number of compounding periods, n, for each of the following: a) compounded semi-annually for 7 years b) compounded monthly for 5 years c) compounded weekly for 3 years 4. Use the compound interest formula, A = P(1 + i)^n, to find the unknown value: a) A=?, P=$1300, i=0.06, n=20 b) A=$8000, P=?, i=0.05, n=24 5. Use the formula, A = P + I, to determine the amount of interest earned if the principal is $1900 and the amount is $2350. 6. How much would an investment of $800 be worth in 90 days if it earns simple interest of 8.4% per annum. 7. An investment of $2200 earned interest at 9.2% per annum compounded quarterly. How much would the investment be worth in 5 years? 8. A car loan can be taken for 4 years. At an interest rate of 8.4% per annum compounded monthly, the total cost of the car loan would be $34243.70. What is the cost of the car if you pay cash for it today rather than take out the loan? 9. Karen made an investment of $2500, two years ago to go on a trip. She invested the money at 7.2% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Her investment will mature in three years. Dwayne would also like to go on the trip. However, he hasn't started saving yet. How much must he invest today at 9.6% per annum, compounded monthly to have the same amount as Karen will have three years from now?
