how much interest would you earn in one year on an $1000 investment earning 5% interest if the interest is compounded once, twice, four times, twelve times, or 365 times a year?

 

im following the equation A = P(1+r/n)^nt but my answers dont seem to be correct :((

A = 1,000(1+0.05)^1 =$1,050.00  compounded annually.

A = 1,000(1+0.05/2)^2=$1,050.63 compounded semi-annually.

A = 1,000(1+0.05/4)^4=$1,050.95 compounded quarterly.

A = 1,000(1+0.05/12)^12 =$1,051.16 compounded monthly.

A = 1,000(1+0.05/365)^365 =$1,051.27 compounded daily.
