Answer:

Answer for question (a) is choice C. $129,574,501,848

Answer for question (b) is choice B. $153,274,185,397

Explanation:

P = $23

r = 6%

t = 377 years

If the money were compounded quarterly amount invested would be:

A = P(1 +
(r)/(n))^nt

A = $23(1 +
(0.06)/(4))^4(377)

A = $129,574,501,848

If the money were compounded continuously amount invested would be:

A = P ×
e^(rt)

Where (e) is the Euler's constant

A = $23 ×
e^(0.06(377))

A = $153,274,185,397
