Hello! I just want to ask if my answer from 1 to 4 is correct, I'm having a trouble on the last one, any help will be greatly appreciated.

2. You seem to be having trouble with all of them. Please show your work.

If your work is pushing buttons on a calculator, that's fine. Tell us what calculator and what buttons.

It's difficult to direct you when you show only the final result.

So, all of it is wrong?

"for 1 month" not required...

a = 20
n = 30
i = .20/365

First 4 are correct.

5. Opinions vary because you have not specified the payment timing. It is not typical for accumulations to pay at the END of each period. Mr. Dennis has validated your odd assumption. Try paying at the beginning of each period and see if you get a different answer.

IEvolve, you can check your answers through
a simple looper program showing each calculation.
As example, 1000 annually, 10% annually, 4 years:
Code:
YEAR   DEPOSIT   INTEREST    BALANCE
1    1000.00        .00    1000.00
2    1000.00     100.00    2100.00
3    1000.00     210.00    3310.00
4    1000.00     331.00    4641.00
By formula:
d = 1000
r = .10
n = 4
f = d[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r = 4641.00
HOKAY?
