Suppose Leslie moves her money into an account that pays 7 percent or one that pays 9 percent. Rework part (a) using 7 percent and 9 percent. c. What conclusions can you draw about the relationship between interest rates, time, and future sums from the calculations you just did? a. After placing $10,800 in a savings account paying annual compound interest of 5 percent, the amount of money that will accumulate if Leslie leaves the money in the bank for 3 year(s) is $ (Round to the nearest cent.) If she leaves the money in the bank for 7 years, the amount of money that will accumulate is $ (Round to the nearest cent.) If she leaves the money in the bank for 17 years, the amount of money that will accumulate is $ (Round to the nearest cent.) b. If Leslie moves her money into an account that pays 7 percent compounded annually for 3 year(s), the amount of money that will accumulate is (Round to the nearest cent.)

If Leslie moves her money into an account that pays 9 percent compounded annually for 7 years, the amount of money that will accumulate is $ (Round to the nearest cent.) If Leslie moves her money into an account that pays 9 percent compounded annually for 17 years, the amount of money that will accumulate is $ (Round to the nearest cent.) c. What conclusions can you draw about the relationship between interest rates, time, and future sums from the calculations you just did? There is a (1) relationship between the interest rate used to compound a present sum and the future value of that sum. There is a (2) continues and the future value of that sum. (Select from the drop-down menus.) relationship between the number of years for which the compounding (1) O positive O negative (2) O positive O negative
