Respuesta :

The required answers are calculated by using the simple interest formula:

a. She needs to deposit $793.65 in the account each month

b. The total money she put into an account for a year is $285,714.29

c. The total interest she earns is $514,285.71

What is the formula for simple interest?

The formula for the simple interest is

A = P(1 + RT)

Where,

A - amount after T years

P - principal amount

R - the rate of interest

T - time (years)

Calculation:

It is given that,

A = 8,00,000

T = 30 years

R = 6% = 0.06

So,

a. Finding the amount needs to deposit in the account each month:

We have A = P(1 + RT)

⇒ P = A/(1 + RT)

On substituting,

P = 8,00,000/(1 + 0.06×30)

  = 8,00,000/2.8

  = $285,714.29(per year)

Thus, the amount needs to deposit in the account for each month

= P/T×12

= 285,714.29/30×12

= $793.65

b. Finding the total money that she put into account:

That is nothing but,

P = A/(1 + RT)

On substituting,

P = 8,00,000/(1 + 0.06×30)

  = 8,00,000/2.8

  = $285,714.29(per year)

c. FInding the total interest:

We have I = A - P

⇒ I = 8,00,000 - 285,714.29

∴ I = $514,285.71

Therefore, a. $793.65, b. $285,714.29, and c. $514,285.71
