Answer 2

Answer 3

dawg what

Answer 4

The money market account compounds interest yearly, so we'll use the formula:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

where:
A = the total amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest
P = the principal amount (initial investment)
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = number of years

In this case, Kendra's initial investment (P) is $100,000, the interest rate (r) is 0.15 (15% expressed as a decimal), the investment is compounded yearly (n = 1), and the investment period (t) is 20 years.

A = 100,000(1 + 0.15/1)^(1*20)
= 100,000(1 + 0.15)^(20)
= 100,000(1.15)^(20)
≈ 100,000(8.134)
= $813,400.

Therefore, Kendra's investment will be worth approximately $813,400 in 20 years.

Answer 5

I apologize for the mistake. Let me recalculate:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
A = 100,000(1 + 0.15/1)^(1*20)
A = 100,000(1.15)^(20)
A ≈ 100,000(7.612)
A ≈ $761,200

Therefore, Kendra's investment will be worth approximately $761,200 in 20 years. Sorry for any confusion caused.

Answer 6

I apologize for the incorrect information earlier. Let me recalculate:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
A = 100,000(1 + 0.15/1)^(1*20)
A = 100,000(1.15)^(20)
A ≈ 100,000(2.6533)
A ≈ $265,330

Therefore, Kendra's investment will be worth approximately $265,330 in 20 years. I apologize for any confusion caused.
