Calculate the annual percentage yield for each investment.
a.A savings account paying an annual rate of 4 percent compounded quarterly.
b.A checking account paying an annual rate of 1.5 percent compounded daily.

For the following problems, determine how many years it will take for the two accounts to reach the same amount.
a.A 1000 dollar investment at a rate of 3% compounded monthly and an 1100 dollar investment at a rate of 3.02% compounded annually.

1000 * (1+0.03/12)^(12*x) = 1100*1.0302^xx = 454.7 years
b.A 2000 dollar investment at a rate of 4% compounded continuously and a 3000 dollar investment at a rate of 5% compounded monthly.

2000 * e^(0.04x) = 3000 * (1 + 0.05/12)^(12x)x = -40.9 years

they will never be equal; the gap will just widen
