Interest = P(1+i)^n -P
a) Here P=$1,000
i = 0.04
n = 3
interest = 1000(1+0.04)^3 -1000
= 1000(1.04)^3 -1000
=1124.864 - 1000
= $124.86.......................Ans
b) Here P=$1,000
i = 0.04/2 = 0.02
n = 3*2 = 6
interest = 1000(1+0.02)^6 -1000
= 1000(1.02)^6 -1000
=1126.162419264 - 1000
= $126.16.......................Ans
c) Here P=$1,000
i = 0.04/12 = 0.00333333333333
n = 3*12 = 36
interest = 1000(1+0.0033333333333)^36 -1000
= 1000(1.0033333333333)^6 -1000
=1127.271874517776486- 1000
= $127.27 ......................Ans
