1.A company can choose one of two investment plans, A and B.
Under plan A, it can invest $117604 at 6.7% p.a., compounded
monthly. Under plan B, it can invest $x at 6.2% p.a., compounded
continuously. If the company wants to have the same amount after
two years using either plan, what is the value of x ?
(Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)
2.What is the extra amount of interest earned, if $3516 is
invested for six years at 5.2% p.a. compounded monthly rather than
for six years at 5.2% p.a. simple interest ?
(Give your answer to the nearest cent, omitting the dollar
sign.)
In the first part of question we need to calculate the pricipal amount i.e x if the compounded value will remain same as in PLAN A. for that we will calculate compounded value as per plan A and use the same value for calculating x in Plan B.

now for the second part of question we will calculate compound interest and simple interest and find out the difference between two
