问题如下:
Clark opens two bank accounts. Account 1 is compounded quarterly with stated annual rate of 3%, while Account 2 is compounded annually with annual interest rate of 2.5%. Clark put the principal of $30,000 to Account 2 and annual interest to Account 1 as long as he received. After three years, what is the difference between Clark’s current wealth planning and leaving all the money in Account 2?
选项:
A.$13.50
B.$12.24
C.$16.12
解释:
B is correct.
Annual interest received from Account 2 is $30,000*2.5%=$750.
After three years, Clark’s current wealth planning:
Leave all the money in Account 2: $30,000*(1+2.5%)3=$32306.71
The difference is $32318.95-$32306.71=12.24
请问Account1的计算为什么不能按照每年末存入750、存3年来理解,即PMT=750,N=12,I/Y=3/4。是否因为Account1有资金存入的时间点为下一年的年初?若是这样,Account1能否按先付年金存2年来理解?
