Nick saves up $7500 and uses it to purchase a new jet ski. Unfortunately, his jet ski depreciates 18% in value every year that he owns it. How much will Nick's jet ski be worth in 3 years?

•  $A\ =\ 7,500e^{\left(.18\cdot3\right)}$ 

•  $A\ =\ 7,500\left(1+\frac{.28}{12}\right)^{\left(12\cdot3\right)}$ 

•  $A\ =\ 7,500\left(1+.18\right)^3$ 

•  $A\ =\ 7,500\left(1-.18\right)^3$ 

Danielle deposits $1700 into an account that pays 18% annual interest compounded continuously. What is Danielle's balance after 4 years?

•  $A\ =\ 1700e^{\left(.18\cdot4\right)}$ 

•  $A\ =\ 1700\left(1+\frac{.18}{\infty}\right)^{\left(\infty\cdot4\right)}$ 

•  $A\ =\ 1700\left(1+.18\right)^3$ 

•  $A\ =\ 1700\left(1-.18\right)^3$ 

Dom buys a stock option for $2500 that pays out 15% annual interest compounded monthly. What is Dom's balance after 6 years?

•  $A\ =\ 2500\left(1+\frac{.15}{12}\right)^{\left(12\cdot6\right)}$ 

•  $A\ =\ 2500\left(1+.15\right)^6$ 

•  $A\ =\ 2500\left(1-.15\right)^6$
