Compound Interest: Amount

Ben needs to borrow $3,000 and has found two banks that are willing to offer him a loan.

Regions bank offers 8.7%, compounded daily for 4 years.

Truist bank offers 8.3%, compounded daily for 5 years.

Which option is better for Ben and why? (There is more than one correct answer)

• Regions is the better choice because their loan will be $249.38 cheaper than Truist.

• Truist is the better choice because Ben gets more money ($4,542.90 is better than $4,248.52)

• Regions bank is the better choice for Ben because their loan matures in less time (4 years vs. 5 years)

• Truist bank is the better choice for Ben because they will charge less interest.

Answer explanation

When choosing a bank for your loan, always choose the one that offers you the shortest time period. A shorter time period means that you pay LESS interest.
