You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. If you lend $3600 to a friend for 15 months at 10% annual simple interest, find the future value of the loan. FV = PV x (1+r)^n
 FV = 3600 x (1.1)^(15/12)
 FV = $4055.49_________
 2. What are the future value and the interest earned if $3400 is invested for 7 years at 8% compounded quarterly? (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
 future value $3400 x (1.08)^(7*4) = $29332.16_________
 interest earned $29332.16-3400 = $25932.16
 3. How long (in years) would $400 have to be invested at 7%, compounded continuously, to amount to $905? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
 A(t) = P*e^(rt)
 905 = 400*e^(0.07t)
 2.26 = e^(0.075)
 0.075t = ln(2.26)
 0.075t = 0.8154
 t = 11 when rounded up
 years = 11 when rounded up
