To solve Ali’s investment problem, we will use the formula for compound interest:
where:
-
is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. -
is the principal amount (the initial amount of money). -
is the annual interest rate (decimal). -
is the number of times that interest is compounded per year. -
is the number of years the money is invested for.
Given:
-
-
(which is as a decimal) -
(since interest is compounded quarterly) -
(a) Calculate the total amount after 5 years:
Calculating within the parentheses:
Thus,
Calculating inside the parentheses:
Now, raise it to the power of 20:
Calculating
:
Now calculate
:
So, after 5 years, the amount in Ali’s account is approximately
.
(b) To find out how much interest is earned on Ali’s investment after 5 years, subtract the principal from the total amount:
Thus, the total interest earned is approximately
