7% compounded quarterly > 6.94% compounded continuously.
What is compound interest?
Interest earned on the principal amount and the interest itself is known as compound interest. These increases exponentially.
How to solve?
1) 7% compounded quarterly
[tex]\frac{7}{4}% = 1.75%[/tex] %= 1.75% annually
quarterly for 4 years => 4*4 = 16 times
Accumulated value = present value * [tex](1+\frac{r}{100})}^n[/tex]
where present value = $10,000 , r = 1.75, n = 16 times
substituting values:
AV = [tex]10000*{(1+\frac{1.75}{100})}^{16} = $13199.295[/tex]
Thus, the value of $10,000 after 4 years at 7% compounded quarterly is $13199.295
2) 6.94% compounded continuously
[tex]\frac{6.94}{365}[/tex]% = 0.01904% per annum
365 days for 4 years => 365*4 = 1460 times
Accumulated value = present value * [tex](1+\frac{r}{100})}^n[/tex]
Where present value = $10,000, r = 0.019014 , n = 1460 times
Substituting values:
[tex]10000*{(1+\frac{0.019014}{100})}^{1460} = $ 13199.29085[/tex]
Thus, the value of $10,000 after 4 years at % compounded quarterly is $13199.29085
since $13199.295 > $13199.29085
Both values are approximately the same but the value of 7% compounded quarterly is comparatively more than 6.94% compounded continuously.
Formula used:
Accumulated value = present value * [tex](1+\frac{r}{100})}^n[/tex]
