a.       15

b.      4.5

c.       7.85

a.      $8,741.84

b.       $3,456.95

c.       $5,796.56

d.      $4,500

A = p(1 + r%)^n

13226 = P*(1.148)^3

a.      7.87%

b.      0.65%

Ln K = 1/168 * ln 3 - 1

Ln K = 1/168 * 1.0986 - 1

Ln K = 0.006539 - 1

K = 1.006560 - 1 = 0.006560

K = 0.6560 % (monthly)

K = 0.6560*12 = 7.872
