Annuities and Money Streams

Problem 1

Revenue flows continuously into a retail operation at the constant rate of \(f(t)=128\text{,}000\) dollars per year. As the money is received, it is placed into a non-interest-earning account. Determine how much money has accumulated in the operation’s account at the end of a \(3\)-year time period.

Problem 3

Suppose that at the end of each month, for \(6\) months, \(\$100\) is put into an account paying \(6\%\) annual interest compounded continuously. Except for the last \(\$100\), which earns no interest at all, each \(\$100\) earns interest over a different period of time. Using the continuous compounding formula \(A=Pe^{rt}\), find the total amount of money in the account at the end of \(6\) months.
