Joanie takes a \(\$6000\) loan to pay for her car. The annual interest rate on the loan is \(12\%\). She makes no payments for 4 years, but has to pay back all the money she owes at the end of 4 years. How much more money will she owe if the interest compounds quarterly than if the interest compounds annually? Express your answer as a dollar value to the nearest cent.

Joanie takes a  6000 dollar  loan to pay for her car. The annual interest rate on the loan is 12percent . She makes no payments for 4 years, but has to pay back all the money she owes at the end of 4 years. How much more money will she owe if the interest compounds quarterly than if the interest compounds annually? Express your answer as a dollar value to the nearest cent.

-----------------------------------

Compounded annually it will become   6000(1+0.12)^4 = 9441.11 dollars,   which means the interest component is 441.11 dollars

----------------------------------

 

4 years is 4*4=16 quarters,    and     12% per year (nominal) is   12/4 = 3% per quarter

 

So 6000 dollars will grow to       6000(1+0.03)^16 = 9628.24 dollars (to the nearest cent)  

so that will be  3628.24 dollars interest

------------------------------------

 

You can finish it :)

 

I had to get rid of the dollar signs because the program thought it was latex and it didn't print properly.  sad
