You can put this solution on YOUR website! You invest $30,000 in an account for your retirement. the interest you receive is 8% compounded monthly.
A. How much will be in the account after 30 years?
A(30) = 30000(1+0.08/12)^(12*30)
A(30) = 30000(1.00666666...)^360
A(30) = 30000(10.93572966...)
A(30) = $328,071.89
-----------------
B. If your interest was compounded continously at the same rate, how much would you have after 30 years?
A(30)=30000e^(0.08*30)
A(30)=30000(11.02317638...)
A(30)=$330,695.29
--------------------
