How much interest will $2,400 earn at an annual rate of 8% in one year if the interest is compounded every 4 months?
(a) $141
(b) $150
(c) $197
(d) $234
(e) $312
If I use the formula of F = P(1+R/N)^N*T, I don't get the correct answer.
The actual explanation is to use simple interest formula:
$2,400 x 8/100 x 1 = $192. Since we are calculating as a compounded rate, the interest should be a bit higher, or C as the correct answer.
Could someone please explain.
