a. $14,693.30
b. $1,469.33
c. $1,491.76
d. $14,917.60
Balance of CD @ the end of 5 years would be $1,469.33 (b is the correct answer). Calculations below:
Year interest balance
$1,000
1 1000*8% = 80 = 1000+80= $1,080
2 1080*8% = 86.4 =1080+86.4 = $1,166.40
3 1166.4*8% = 93.31 =1166.4+93.31= $1,259.71
4 1259.71*8% = 100.78 =1259.71 +100.78 = $1,360.49
5 1360.49*8% = 108.84 =1360.49+108.84 = $1,469.33
