Over a term of one compounding period, simple and compound interest give

  • A.a larger amount for compound interest
  • B.a larger amount for simple interest
  • C.amounts that cannot be compared
  • D.the same amount

Answer: D

Correct answer: the same amount

Over a single period there is no accumulated interest for compound interest to work on, so \( P(1+i) \) and \( P(1 + i \times 1) \) are identical. The two methods diverge only from the second period onward, and the divergence then grows without limit.
