Solution

(a) The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where:

  • A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
  • P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money).
  • r is the annual interest rate (in decimal).
  • n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.
  • t is the time the money is invested for in years.

In this case, P = 37,000 AUD, r = 6.4/100 = 0.064 (converted from percentage to decimal), n = 4 (since interest is compounded quarterly), and t = 2 years.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

A = 37,000(1 + 0.064/4)^(4*2) A = 37,000(1 + 0.016)^
