Less work for the tutor's, to type "yes" or "no", then to type out how the problem is done.
First, let's calculate the number of compounding periods for each account:
Account 1:
Time period: July 1, 1996 to July 1, 2001
Number of years: 5
Number of compounding periods per year: 12 (compounded monthly)
Total number of compounding periods: 5 * 12 = 60
Account 2:
Time period: July 1, 2001 to January 1, 2008
Number of years: 6.5
Number of compounding periods per year: 4 (compounded quarterly)
Total number of compounding periods: 6.5 * 4 = 26
Next, let's calculate the future value of the initial investment in each account:
Account 1:
Principal amount: $2000
Annual interest rate: 6%
Number of compounding periods: 60
Using the formula for compound interest:
Future Value = Principal * (1 + (interest rate / number of compounding periods))^(number of compounding periods * number of years)
Future Value = $2000 * (1 + (0.06 / 12))^(60 * 5)
Calculating this value gives us the balance of Account 1 on July 1, 2001.
Account 2:
Principal amount: Balance of Account 1 on July 1, 2001
Annual interest rate: 8%
Number of compounding periods: 26
Using the same compound interest formula:
Future Value = Principal * (1 + (interest rate / number of compounding periods))^(number of compounding periods * number of years)
Future Value = (Balance of Account 1 on July 1, 2001) * (1 + (0.08 / 4))^(26 * 6.5)
Calculating this value gives us the balance of Anna's new account on January 1, 2008.
