Simple versus compound interest

Financial contracts involving investments, mortgages, loans, and so on are based on either a fixed or a variable interest rate. Assume that fixed interest rates are used throughout this question.

Zoe deposited $900 in a savings account at her bank. Her account will earn an annual simple interest rate of 7%. If she makes no additional deposits or withdrawals, how much money will she have in her account in thirteen years?

a. $1,719.00

b. $2,168.86

c. $967.41

d. $163.00

a. $963.00

b. $151.82

c. $2,168.86

d. $1,719.00

Keeping everything else constant, how much money will Zoe have in her account at this bank in thirteen years?

a. $166.16
