7. Jamal deposited $17,500 with a bank in a 5-year certificate of deposit that earns 7% interest, compounded daily. Determine the interest earned if the compound interest factor is 1.41901993.
○ $7,332.85
○ $8,332.85
○ $10,832.85
○ $24,832.85

Answer

To find the interest earned, use the formula for compound interest: Interest = Principal × (Compound Interest Factor - 1).

  1. Principal = $17,500
  2. Compound Interest Factor = 1.41901993

Interest = $17,500 × (1.41901993 - 1) = $17,500 × 0.41901993 = $7,332.85

Answer: $7,332.85
