Answer #1

Value of Investment in Simple Interest = 3,800(1 + 10(0.06))

Value of Investment in Simple Interest = $6,080

Value in Investment in Compound Interest = 3,800(1.06)10

Value in Investment in Compound Interest = $6,805.22

Difference in Interest = 6,805.22 - 6,080

Difference in Interest = $725.22
