Question 1158168
the formula for the first is P=Po(1+(.11/2)^10, the 10 being the number of times compounded.
P=1.708Po

The second is P=Poe^rt, or Poe^(.108*5)or Poe^0.54=1.716 Po

Continuously compounding maximizes return, all other things being equal, and in this instance is better even with a slightly less rate of return.
