3. Suppose a certain amount of
money is deposited into an account paying 6% annual interest compounded quarterly. For each positive integer n, let Rn = the amount on deposit at the end of the nth quarter, assuming no
additional deposits or withdrawals, and let R0
be the initial amount deposited.
a. Write the recurrence
relation for Rn in terms
of Rn-1. (3 points)
Rn =
b. If R0 = $10,000, find the amount of money on deposit at the
end of a year, that is R4.

c. What is the APR (annual
percentage rate) for the account? (2

4. Santa is in a bind. Because of the expanding population, his
elves will need to produce more dolls this year than ever before. He has promised extra cookies to any elf that
can increase his daily production by 3 dolls per day for each of the next 25
days. If an elf has been producing 200
dolls per day, how many dolls must he be producing on the 25th day
to get the extra cookies? (4 points)
(reference sheet should be helpful)
5. This puts Mrs. Claus in a
bind as well. She has to make more
cookies this year than ever before. Her
plan is to increase her daily cookie production by 2% each day for the next 25
days. If she has been baking 1,000
cookies per day, how many cookies will she be making on the 25th day
if she increases at 2% each day? (4
points)
