You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can use the compound interest formula to get your answers:
A = The present amount (your answer).
P = the principal amount invested (P = $40,000).
i = the rate of interest, expressed as a decimal (i = 0.09).
q = The number of compounding periods per year (q = 1 for annually, 4 for quarterly, and 12 for monthly).
n = number of years (n = 16).
Compounded annually:
Substitute P = 40000, i = 0.09, q = 1 (once per year), and n = 16:
 Use your calculator.
A = $158,812.24
Compounded quarterly:
Substitute P = 40000, i = 0.09, q = 4 (4 times per year), and n = 16.
 Use your calculator.
A = $166,154.56
You should now be able to do the last one yourself using the same formula and the same numbers except that q = 12 (for 12 times per year).
