Financial literacy school assignment problems? I=Prt?

using the formula I = prt

1. the time is 3 months, which is 3/12 of a year or 1/4 or .25; 4% = .04

,,,,,I = $400. x .04 x .25

,,,,,,,= 16 x .25 = $4

2. compounded quarterly means every 3 months (1/4 of 12 months)

so at the end of the first quarter, you have $400 + $4 (see problem 1) = $404.

at the end of the 2nd quarter, you have $404 x .04 x .25 =$4.04; now you have $404 + 4.04 = $408.04

at the end of the 3rd quarter (9 months), you have 408.04 x .04 x .25 = $4.08; now you have $408.04 + 4.08 = $$412.12

3. Since you started with $400 and now have $412.12, you have earned $12.12 in interest.

4. I honestly don't know why you don't get the full amount.
