Ashley invests $9,720 in a one-month money market account paying 3.16% simple annual interest and $8,140 in a two-year CD yielding 3.23% simple annual interest. Assuming Ashley does not reinvest or renew these investments, how much money will she have when both investments reach maturity, to the nearest dollar?
For the first investment. A = P(1 + rt); where p = 9,720, r = 0.0316 and t = 1/12
A = 9720(1 + 0.0316/12) = 9720(1.0026) = $9,746
For the second investment,
A = 8140(1 + 0.0323 x 2) = 8140(1.0646) = $8,666
Total amount she had = $9,746 + $8,666 = $18,412
