Answer to Question #178873 in Financial Math for David

Question

Tony makes deposits of $320 monthly (at the end of each month) into an account that pays 1.8% interest compounded monthly.

How much interest will he have earned after 3 years?

Answer 1

$A=p(1+\frac{r}{(12)(100)})^{12\times n}=320(1+\frac{1.8}{(12)(100)})^{12\times 3}=320\times1.0554=\$337.728$

$I=A-P=337.728-320=\$17.728$
