Question 1.
A youth group has a yard sale to raise money for a charity. The group earns $800 but decides to put its money in the bank for a while. Calculate the amount of money the group will have given the following scenarios:
a. Cool Bank pays simple interest at a rate of 4%, and the youth group leaves the money in for 3 years.
Answer:
$800(0.04)(3) = $96 interest earned
$896 total
b. Hot Bank pays an interest rate of 3% compounded annually, and the youth group leaves the money in for 5 years.
Answer:
$800(1.03)5 = $927.42
c. If the youth group needs the money quickly, which is the better choice? Why?
Answer:
If the youth group needs the money quickly, it should use Cool Bank since that bank pays a higher rate than Hot Bank. The lower rate is better for a longer period of time due to the compounding interest.
