\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the sequence is as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "beginning of first year
\n" ); document.write( "1000 is deposited into the account.
\n" ); document.write( "end of first year
\n" ); document.write( "1000 * 1.08 = 1080 - 80 = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "end of second year
\n" ); document.write( "1000 * 1.08 = 108 - 90 = 990
\n" ); document.write( "end of third year
\n" ); document.write( "990 * 1.08 = 1069.2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the money is deposited at the beginning of the first year.
\n" ); document.write( "at the end of the first year, the money has earned 8% interest to make a remaining balance of 1000 * 1.08 = 1080.
\n" ); document.write( "80 dollars is then withdrawn to make a remaining balance of 1000 in the account.
\n" ); document.write( "this is the amount remaining in the account at the end of the first year, which is the same time point as the beginning of the second year.
\n" ); document.write( "at the end of the second year, the remaining balance at the end of the first year earns another 8% interest to make it equal to 1000 * 1.08 = 1080.
\n" ); document.write( "90 dollars is then withdrawn from the account, making the remaining balance equal to 990 at the end of the second year.
\n" ); document.write( "at the end of the third year, the remaining balance of 990 earns 8% interest to make it equal to 990 * 1.08 = 1069.2.
\n" ); document.write( "this is the remaining balance at the end of the third year.
\n" ); document.write( "that is the amount that is then withdrawn.\r
