Respuesta :

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Deposit= $6,600

Regency Bank:

12 percent per year compounded monthly (1.0 percent per month)

King Bank:

12 percent but will only compound annually.

Number of years= 17

To calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula for each bank:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

Regency Bank:

n=17*12= 204

FV= 6,600*(1.01^204)

FV= $50,246.3

King Bank:

FV= 6,600*(1.12^17)

FV= $45,315.87
