Explanation / Answer

1. b $ 150.04

= 121+121*6$*4 = 121+29.04 = 150.04

2. c $ 57.34

Interest as per SI= 1430*5%*6 = 429

Compound = 1430(1.05)6 = 1430*1.34=1916.34

Interest= 1916.34-1430=486.34

More= 486.34-429 = 27.44

3 b $ 4596.68

. FV= PV(1+r)n

=3018(1+.054)8 = $ 4596.68

4. 12400= PV(1.05)3

PV= 12400*.8638 = 10711.59

5. 45217= 15590(1.06)n

(1.06)n= 2.9
