Work Step by Step

$A(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt},$ a. $P=1000, r=0.05, n=12, t=\frac{8}{12},$ $A(\frac{8}{12})=1000(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{12\times \frac{8}{12}},$ $A(\frac{8}{12})=1000(1.0042)^8=1034.1$ b. $n=4, t=\frac{3}{4}$ $A(9)=1000=P(1+\frac{0.05}{4})^{4\times \frac{3}{4}}$, $1000=P(1.0042)^3$ $P=963.42$ c. $2=(1+0.06)^t,$ $\log 2=t\log(1.06),$ $t=11.896$
