Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Deposit = $6,600

Regency Bank:

12 percent per year compounded monthly (1.0 percent per month)

King Bank:

12 percent but will only compound annually.

Number of years = 17

To calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula for each bank:

FV = PV * (1+i) ^n

Regency Bank:

n=17*12 = 204

FV = 6,600 * (1.01^204)

FV = $50,246.3

King Bank:

FV = 6,600 * (1.12^17)

FV = $45,315.87
