Thomas invested $2,140 for 238 days at a simple interest rate of 2.50% p.a. How much more or less interest would he have earned on the investment if his money was growing at a simple interest rate of 3.00% p.a. instead of 2.50% p.a.? When Pacific Inc. bid for a project with the government, the company was offered the following two payment options: Option (A): A payment of $655,000 at the end of 3 years, which is the scheduled completion time for the project. Option (B): $225,000 paid upfront at the beginning of the project and the balance payment in 3 years. If the two payments are financially equivalent and the interest rate is 3.30% compounded semi-annually, calculate the balance payment offered in Option(B). Erin heard that he could triple his money in 17 years if he invested it in a large telecommunications business. What nominal interest rate compounded monthly does the business offer?
