Jill and bill are the same age. jill inherits $20,000 when she is 25, and invests it in an account earning 5% annual interest rate, compounded annually. bill receives a $20,000 bonus at age 35, and then invests it in an account which also earns a 5% annual interest rate, compounded annually. how much more money does jill have than bill at age 50? a) $0 b) $10,000 c) $18,075 d) $26,149

Option D $26149 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given, at the age of 25, Jill had $20,000 and he invested it in an account earning at a rate of 5% compounded annually.

We have to find how much Jill will earn at a age of 50.

We will use compound interest formula. The formula is,

A = P ( 1+r)

Where, A = last amount, P = principal amount, r = rate of interest, t = number of years.

P = 20000, r = 5% = = 0.05,

t = (50-25) = 25

By substituting the values in the formula we will get,

A = 20000 (1 + 0.05)

A = 20000 (1.05)

A = 20000 (3.38635494)

A = 67727.10  ( Approximately taken upto two decimal place)

So we have got Jill will get at the age of 50 is $ 67727.10.

Now given, Bill had $20000 at the age of 35. He also invested it in an account which earns at a rate of 5% compounded annually.

Similarly we have to find the amount he will get at the age of 50.

So, P = $20000, r = 0.05, t = (50 - 35) = 15 years.

A = 20000 (1 + 0.05)

A = 20000 ( 1.05)

A = 20000 (2.078928)

A = 41578.56

So we have got at the age of 50 Bill will get $ 41578.56.

At the age of 50, Jill have more money than Bill. The amount of money that Jill have more =  $(67727.10 - 41578.56)  = $26148.54 rounded to  $26149.

So we have got the answer.

Option D is correct here.

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
