Financial Report Worksheet
Directions: Complete the financial report worksheet to help you with your calculations to create the APA report. 1. Go to your financial institutions website or a local financial institutions website and find the interest rate and compounding frequency (monthly, quarterly, annually, and so on) for a savings account. Record that here: 2. Use the compound interest formula: where r is the interest rate as a decimal, n is the number of times it is compounded in the time frame, t is the amount of time, and P is the starting value. Calculate your balance if you invest $1,000 for 1 year. 3. Using the compound interest formula, calculate your balance if you invest $1,000 for 5 years. 4. Now select a new compounding period (monthly, quarterly, annually, and so on) and redo your calculations from number 2 & 3, using the same interest rate.

5. Now select a new interest rate from another financial institution that is different than your starting one. Redo your calculations from numbers 2 & 3 with the new rate but keeping the same compounding frequency that you used in 2 & 3. 6. What did you learn about comparing the compounding frequency that interest is compounded?

7. What did you learn about comparing the interest rate? 8. Is it better to have a slightly higher rate or have interest compounded more often?
