Melvin Indecision has difficulty deciding whether to put his
savings in Mystic Bank or Four Rivers Bank. Mystic offers 11%
interest compounded semiannually. Four Rivers offers 12% interest
compounded quarterly. Melvin has $11,400 to invest. He expects to
withdraw the money at the end of 4 years.
Calculate the interest earned at the end of Melvin's investment
period at each bank. Identify which bank gives him the better deal?
