Find the amount of compound interest earned in an account that opens with $27,000, earns 5.8% interest compounded daily, and is held for 5 years. Assume 360 days in a year. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answer 1

P = Po(1+r)^n.

Po = $27,000.

r = (5.8%/360) / 100% = 0.00016111 =
Daily % rate expressed as a decimal.

n = 360Comp./yr * 5yrs=1800 Compounding
periods.

Plug the above values into the given Eq
and solve for P.

P = $36,082.70.

Int. = P - Po

Answer 2

9082.70
