Q10:
If $1,000 will be deposited in a bank account and I is the dollar amount of interest earned from the original deposit, represented as I = 1000 {(1 + r/100)^n – 1}, and the annual interest rate is r percent, is r > 8 percent?
(1) The deposit earns a total of $210 in interest in the first 2 years.
(2) (1 + r/100)^2 > 1.15
Ans: D
可是仔細一算,有點問題也!
(1) n = 2, I = 210, 可求出 r, 所以可以確定 r 是否 > 8
(2) r = 8 代進去 => I = 1.1664 >1.15, 所以不確定 r 是否 > 8 (i.e. r > 7.x#@ 就會使得 I > 1.15)
答案應該是 (A)
