Professor Smith puts $100,000 in a retirement account for 20 years. The account gives an annual interest rate of 4.15%, compounded quaterly. 

 

1. How much is in the account at the end of the 20 years ? 

 

I found : $228353.3276 

I use formula : A = P ( 1+ r/m)^mt 

 

2. How much inerest did her hearn on his investement during the 20 years ? 

I found : $128353.3237 

I use Formula : I = A - P

100,000(1 + .0415/4)^(20 * 4)   = about $$228,353.33  at the end of 20 years

 

Interest =  $228,353.33  - $100,000  =  $128,353.33

 

Yep....looks like you did a good job!!!!!
