Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FV = PV  (1 + r)n = 8,000  (1.06)6 = 11,348.15, for a total of 3,348.15 in interest earned. The FV of the shorter investment is only 9,528.13, for a total of 1,528.13 interest earnedless than half of the total interest earned in the first scenario. The student should recognize that the investor earns less than half of the interest due to the shorter compounding period and less interest being earned on interest.
