1. If a person invests $310 in an account that pays 8% interest compounded annually, find the
balance after 5 years.
2. Find the value of $1000 deposited for 10 years in an account paying 6% annual interest

4. A piece of equipment costs $85,000 new, but depreciates 15% per year in each succeeding
year. Find its value after 10 years.
5. If there are initially 2000 bacteria in a culture, and the number of bacteria doubles each hour,
the number of bacteria after t hours can be found using the formula N 2000(2t ) . How many
bacteria will be present after 3 hours?
