You are torn between two saving accounts where to put your $1,500 in scholarship money for a year until you need it for next year’s tuition. one is in bank wan and the other in c-t bank. bank wan is offering a 2.5% nominal rate, with daily compounding of interest, and c-t bank offers 3.0% with semi-annual compounding. which one would you choose?

I would choose to invest in C-T bank since it offers $7.3675 more compared to Bank Wan

Explanation:

The two options can be expressed as shown;

Option 1: Bank Wan

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

where;

A=Total amount after a given time

P=Initial deposit

r-Annual interest rate

n=number of times the interest is compounded annually

t=number of years of the investment

In our case;

P=$1,500

r=2.5%=2.5/100=0.025

n=365 days

t=1 year

Replacing;

A=1,500(1+0.025/365)^(365×1)

A=1,500(1.02530

A=1,537.97

Total amount after a year=$1,537.97 for Bank Wan

Option 2: C-T Bank

P=$1,500

r=3%=3/100=0.03

n=2

t=1

Replacing;

A=1,500(1+0.03/2)^(2×1)

A=1,500(1.015)^2

A=1,545.3375

Total amount after a year=$1,545.3375 for C-T Bank

Total amount received to be received from C-T Bank-Total amount to be received from Bank Wan

=(1,545.3375-1,537.97)=$7.3675

I would choose to invest in C-T bank since it offers $7.3675 more compared to Bank Wan

the earnings of a typical investor is around $1,000,000 to $10,000,000

hope this !

have a good day!

forbearance of student loan payments. under forbearance, your loan payments are postponed (or reduced) but interest continues to accrue during the period of forbearance. if you don't pay the interest during that period, the interest may be “capitalized,” which means it is added to your principal balance.
