Answer

Account 1 $432.08

Account 2 $433.29

Account 3 $433.85

Explanation

For Account 1

P = $2200

r = 3%

n = 6 years

Since the acoount is compounding quarterly, this implies

r = 3/4 % = 0.75% = 0.0075

A = ?

Using the compound interest formula

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ A=2200(1+0.0075)^{6\times4} \\ A=2200(1.0075)^{24} \\ A=2200(1.1964) \\ A=2632.08 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the interest on Account 1 after 6 years = A - P

Interest = $2632.08 - $2200 = $432.08

For Account 2

Since the acoount is compounding monthly, this implies

r = 3/12 % = 0.25% = 0.0025

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ A=2200(1+0.0025)^{6\times12} \\ A=2200(1.0025)^{72} \\ A=2633.29 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the interest on Account 2 after 6 years = A - P

Interest = $2633.29 - $2200 = $433.29

For Account 3

Since the acoount is compounding daily, this implies

r = 3/365 % = 0.008219% = 0.00008219

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=2200(1+0.00008219)^{6\times365} \\ A=2200(1+0.00008219)^{2190} \\ A=2633.85 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the interest on Account 3 after 6 years = A - P

Interest = $2633.85 - $2200 = $433.85
