1. To find the amount of interest earned after 5 years, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount of money accumulated after t years, P is the principal amount (initial deposit), r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years.
In this case, P = $5,000, r = 9% = 0.09, n = 1 (compounded annually), and t = 5.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = 5000(1 + 0.09/1)^(1*5)
Simplifying, we have:
A = 5000(1 + 0.09)^5
A = 5000(1.09)^5
A ≈ $7,693
So, the closest amount to the interest earned at the end of 5 years is $7,693, which is approximate to option a $7,693.
2. To find the accumulated interest at the end of 10 years with simple interest, we can use the formula: I = P*r*t, where I is the accumulated interest, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate (as a decimal), and t is the number of years.
In this case, P = $2,500, r = 8.5% = 0.085, and t = 10.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
I = 2500*0.085*10
I = $2,125
So, the accumulated interest at the end of 10 years is $2,125, which matches option b.
3. To determine who earns more after 5 years, we need to calculate their salaries after 5 years and compare them.
Jerry's salary after 5 years = $45,000 + $2,500*5 = $45,000 + $12,500 = $57,500
Victoria's salary after 5 years = $54,000 + $1,500*5 = $54,000 + $7,500 = $61,500
Comparing the salaries, we see that Victoria earns $61,500 - $57,500 = $4,000 more.
So, the correct answer is option c: Victoria makes $5,000 more.
4. The scatter plot describes the relationship between the amount of time an investment is left in an account and the interest earned. The x-axis represents time and the y-axis represents interest earned.
Option a: Positive correlation is the correct answer because as the amount of time increases, the interest earned also increases. This indicates a positive relationship between time and interest earnings.
5. To calculate the amount of money you will have in 5 years when you invest $1,000 at 8% compound interest, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount of money accumulated after t years, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years.
In this case, P = $1,000, r = 8% = 0.08, n = 1 (compounded annually), and t = 5.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = 1000(1 + 0.08/1)^(1*5)
Simplifying, we have:
A = 1000(1.08)^5
A ≈ $1,469.32
So, you will have approximately $1,469.32 when you graduate high school, which matches option c.
