1. ## Exponential Functions- Finance

Determine the amount of money in a savings accounts that provides an annual rate of 4% compounded monthly if the initial investment is $1,000 and the money is left in the account for 5 years. Can somebody show me how to solve this problem step by step please? Thank you SO MUCH! 2.$\displaystyle A = A_0\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}\displaystyle A$= balance of the account at any time$\displaystyle t$in years$\displaystyle A_0$= initial deposit$\displaystyle r$= annual interest rate as a decimal$\displaystyle n$= number of compounding periods per year 3. i keep doing it, but i have an answer sheet and i keep getting the answers wrong! the answer sheet says the answer is$1221.00, but here's what i keep doing:

A= P ( 1 + r/n) ^ nt
A= 1000 (1 + (.04/4) ^ (4 x 5)
A = 1,000

i keep doing it, but i have an answer sheet and i keep getting the answers wrong! the answer sheet says the answer is $1221.00, but here's what i keep doing: A= P ( 1 + r/n) ^ nt A= 1000 (1 + (.04/4) ^ (4 x 5) A = 1,000 What am I doing wrong? compounded monthly ... n = 12 5.

Since you don't say or show what you're doing between the first and second lines above, we can't know what you might be doing wrong. But$\displaystyle 1.01^{20}\$ should not be evaluating in your calculator to "1"!
