Q. Five years ago, $1,200 was deposited into a savings account paying 4.5 percent interest. Today, the balance in the account is $1,495. If interest paid on the account was compounded annually, how much interest on interest was earned?
Q. You are thinking of buying a 10,000$ bond paying 6% semi-annually. The bond will mature in 7 years. If you would like to make 8% return on your investment, what is the amount you would be willing to pay for this bond?
