For the following 3 questions, you must state the formula you plan to use, as well as the values of all variables occurring in the right side of that formula, such as A, P, r, R, i, m, t, n (whichever are appropriate). The left side of your formula should be a single variable whose value answers the question. After this is done, STOP : do not try to use a calculator to evaluate the right side.
