• Interest is not compounded at all.

• Interest is compounded twice a year.

• Interest is compounded an infinite number of times.

• Interest is compounded once a year.

Which of the following is NOT a component of the continuously compounding interest formula?

• Interest rate

• Time in years

• Principal amount

• Number of compounding periods

In the formula A = P * e^(rt), what does 'e' represent?

• The time in years

• The principal amount

• A mathematical constant

• The interest rate

If you invest $500 at a continuously compounded interest rate of 3% for 3 years, what will be the approximate amount after 3 years?

• $547.09

• $560.00

• $530.00

• $515.00

What is the first step in solving a continuously compounded interest problem?

• Calculate the principal amount

• Determine the time period

• Find the value of 'e'

• Convert the interest rate to a decimal

How do you convert a percentage interest rate to a decimal for use in the formula?

• Add 1 to the percentage

• Divide by 10

• Multiply by 100

• Divide by 100
