Question

Investment A pays 8 percent simple interest for 10 years. Investment B pays 7.75 percent compound interest for 10 years. Both require an initial $10,000 investment. The future value of A minus the future value of B is equal to ________ (to the nearest penny).

Answer 1

$3.344,67

Step-by-step explanation:

Investment A( Simple interest) = Cf= Ci x(1+(ixn)) = $10.000 x(1+0,0775*10)=

$17.750

Investment B (Compound interest)= Cf= Ci x(1+i)^n = $10.000 (1+0,0775)^10=

$ 21.094,67

A - B = $17.750 - 21.094,67 = - $3.344,67
