Q. Which of the following savings account plans would yield exponential growth of the money in the account?Choose 1 answer:(A) 2% of the initial value of the account is added to the value of the account each year.(B) 1.5% of the current value of the account is added to the value of the account each year.(C) A $500 signing bonus is added when the account is first opened, and 0.5% of the initial value of the account is added to the value of the account each year.(D) A$100 customer loyalty bonus is added to the account each year.
Examine option (A): Examine option (A): 2% of the initial value is added each year. This is linear growth, not exponential, because it's a fixed amount each year based on the initial value.
Examine option (B): Examine option (B): 1.5% of the current value is added each year. This is exponential growth because the amount added depends on the current value, which increases each year.
Examine option (C): Examine option (C): A $500 bonus is added initially, and then 0.5% of the initial value is added each year. This is similar to option (A) and represents linear growth, not exponential.
Examine option (D): Examine option (D): A $100 bonus is added each year. This is linear growth because it's a fixed amount each year, not depending on the current value.
