Jane deposited $10,000 into her bank account in december, 2010. her account earns interest at a rate of 5% compounded monthly. how much money will she have in december of this year (2018)?
round your answer to the nearest whole number.
compound interest: a = p ( 1 + r/n )^nt

she will have $14,906 in December of year 2018

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of money she will have in December of the year 2018, we will simply use the formula;

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

where p = principal

           R = rate

           n = the number of times the interest is compounded per unit time

            T = time

             A= Accrued amount

From the question

Principal (p) = $10,000

Rate (r) = 5% = 0.05

Time(t) = 2018-2010 = 8 years

n = 12

We can now proceed to insert the values into our formula;

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

                                      = $10 000 ( 1 + 0.05/12) ^12×8

                                         =$10,000(1 + 0.00416667)^96

                                          = $10 000(1.00416667)^96

                                            =$10 000(1.4905859)

                                            =$14,905.895

                                             ≈$14,906 to the nearest whole number.

Therefore she will have $14,906 in December of year 2018
