Explanation / Answer

Investment Option B: 3% daily 0.008333% per (based on all 30 day months) 1) a,b) At 6 months, $20000 in A gets this: 20000(1+0.005)6 = 20607.55, Int = 607.55 c) The rate after 6 months is 607.55/20000 * 2 * 100 =6.076% .    The investment, if held for a full yearwould yield [(1+0.005)12 -1] * 100 = 6.168% (How these wouldtypically be listed) 2) a,b) At 6 months (180 days) B gets this: 4000 (1+.00008333)180 = 4000 (1.01511) = 4060.45, a gain of60.45 c) The rate after 6 months is 60.45/4000 * 2 * 100 =3.023%    If held for a full year, the yield is[(1.00008333)360 - 1] * 100 = 3.045%
