Transcribed Image Text:**Compound Interest Calculation Exercise**
Given the scenario below, calculate the total amount of money accumulated after 5 years if $10,000 is invested at an annual interest rate of 6%, with the interest being compounded under different frequencies.
1. **Annually:**
- Calculate the total amount when interest is compounded once per year.
- Formula: \( A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \)
- Where \( A \) is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
- \( P = 10,000 \) (the principal investment amount).
- \( r = 0.06 \) (annual interest rate).
- \( n = 1 \) (number of times interest is compounded per year).
- \( t = 5 \) (the number of years the money is invested for).
2. **Quarterly:**
- Calculate the total amount when interest is compounded every quarter (4 times per year).
- Use the same formula with \( n = 4 \).
3. **Monthly:**
- Calculate the total amount when interest is compounded every month (12 times per year).
- Use the same formula with \( n = 12 \).
4. **Daily:**
- Calculate the total amount when interest is compounded daily, assuming 365 days in a year.
- Use the same formula with \( n = 365 \).
**Fill in the blanks:**
- a. Annually: $_____
- b. Quarterly: $_____
- c. Monthly: $_____
- d. Daily (assume 365 days in a year): $_____
