You deposit $300 into bank account A with 5% simple interest and deposit $300 into bank account B with 5% (annual) compound interest. After 4 years, how much larger is the balance in B, compared to the balance in A? Round the dollar amount to the nearest hundredth.

You want to invest $12,000 into a long-term savings account for 10 years. You do some research and find the following three options for annual interest rate and number of compounding periods. Calculate how much money your account would have after 10 years, assuming that you do not take anything out or put any more money into the account. Which option yields the most money? Recall that the formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^nt a. 3.1% interest rate compounded bimonthly (every two months) b. 3.2% interest rate compounded daily c. 3.3% interest rate compounded quarterly (every three months)
