Victor has painstakingly saved $10000 for 2011, and is considering two saving plans as
follows:
Plan A: Simple interest of 4.5% per annum
Plan B: 4% per annum compounded every three months
He plans to take either plan for a period of 10 years.
(d)
Calculate the interest he will earn in 10 years under Plan B.
(e)
Which Plan will give him a better return? Justify your answer.
