26. Compound interest is modeled with an exponential function, where as simple interest is modeled with a linear function. The interest you earn is deposited directly back into your account, and becomes part of the principal for the next time interest is calculated. Because of this, your interest earns interest and your money grows faster (exponentially) when compared to simple interest. Most of the financial world uses compound interest these days. A graph will show the difference between compound and simple interest. On page 1, the lighter line shows a linear simple interest model and the darker exponential curve shows the exact same investment but with a compound interest model. As you can see, the compound model earns more interest at a faster rate then the simple interest model. The more the compound periods per year, the more interest is calculated and paid to you, and the more interest you will earn. 27. $66.36 28. $7561.36 29. $34,935.35, $4,935.35 30. $24, 227.75, $1, 772.25
