a. Suppose that between the ages of 25 and 37, you contribute \(\$ 3500\) per year to a \(401(\mathrm{k})\) and your employer matches this contribution dollar for dollar on your behalf. The interest rate is \(8.25 \%\) compounded annually. What is the value of the \(401(\mathrm{k})\), rounded to the nearest dollar, after 12 years? b. Suppose that after 12 years of working for this firm, you move on to a new job. However, you keep your accumulated retirement funds in the \(401(\mathrm{k})\). How much money, to the nearest dollar, will you have in the plan when you reach age 65 ? c. What is the difference between the amount of money you will have accumulated in the \(401(\mathrm{k})\) and the amount you contributed to the plan?
For a credit card billing period, describe how the average daily balance is determined. Why is this computation somewhat tedious when done by hand?
In Exercises 25-30, round to the nearest dollar. Suppose that you earned a bachelor's degree and now you're teaching high school. The school district offers teachers the opportunity to take a year off to earn a master's degree. To achieve this goal, you deposit \(\$ 2000\) at the end of each year in an annuity that pays \(7.5 \%\) compounded annually. a. How much will you have saved at the end of 5 years? b. Find the interest.
