Accounting Apr 25, 2021

An investment today of $3200 will earn 2.1% compounded monthly for the first 2.5 years and 3.25% compounded semi-annually for the next 3.5 years. Find the total interest earned.

Expert Solution

Computation of Total Interest Earned:

Amount = Principal*(1+Rate)^Number of Compounding Periods

= $3,200*(1+2.1%/12)^(2.5*12) * (1+3.5%/2)^(3.5*2)

= $3,200*1.1899

Amount = $3,807.78

Total Interest Earned = Amount - Principal

= $3,807.78 = $3,200

Total Interest Earned = $607.78
