Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG2.157 Compound Interest and Continuous Growth skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Account A starts with $6000 and grows continuously at 5.2%. Account B starts with $6200 and earns 4.5% compounded quarterly. Which statement is correct?
AAt 4 years A is larger, but at 8 years B is larger.
BAt 4 years B is larger, but at 8 years A is larger.
CB is larger at both 4 and 8 years because it starts higher.
DA is larger at both 4 and 8 years because continuous growth always wins.
Solution & Explanation:At 4 years, A is about $7387.28 and B is about $7415.29. At 8 years, A is about $9095.32 and B is about $8868.80, so the lead changes.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which comparison is correct: 5.9% compounded monthly or a 6.05% effective annual rate?
AThe 6.05% effective annual rate is higher because 6.05 is greater than 5.9.
BThey are exactly equal because both round to 6%.
C5.9% compounded monthly is slightly higher because its effective annual rate is about 6.06%.
D5.9% compounded monthly has an effective annual rate below 5.9%.
Solution & Explanation:The effective annual rate for 5.9% compounded monthly is (1+0.059/12)12-1, about 6.06%, slightly above 6.05%.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
The formula A=700(1+0.08/4)^(4t) models an account. How many compounding periods occur in 6.5 years?
Solution & Explanation:The formula has n=4 periods per year. In 6.5 years, the number of periods is 4(6.5)=26.
