(round your answer to two decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

FV = PV (1+r)n

WHere r is int rate per period & n is no. of period

Alt 1:

FV = 25000 (1+0.0325)28

= 25000 (1.0325)28

= 25000 * 2.4486

= 61215.54

Alt 2:

FV = 25000 (1+0.06)14

= 25000 (1.06)14

= 25000 * 2.2609

= 56522.6

Diff = 61215.54 - 56522.6

= 4692.94
