Hi
 In General A%28t%29+=+P%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5E%28nt%29
A = Accumulated Amount
P= principal = 
r= annual rate = .
n= periods per year = 
t= years =

A = P(1 + .085/12)^12      vs  A= P(1.085)^1 
          A=1.088390906P   vs  A= 1.0875P
8.5% compounded monthly is the better investment

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
