Question
A person invests $4000 at 5% interest compounded annually for 5 years and then invests the balance (the
$4000 plus the interest earned) in an account at 8% interest for 9 years. Find the combined value of the
investment to the nearest cent after 14 years.
(Hint: You need to break this up into two steps/calculations. Be sure to round your balance at the end of
the first 5 years to the nearest cent so you can use it in the second set of calculations.)
