    a) $49,027.14

    b) $54,501.67

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) The account balance multiplier for interest rate r compounded n times per year for t years is ...

    multiplier = (1 + r/n) ^ (nt)

    For your numbers, r=.09, n=12, t=10, this is 2.45135708, so the account balance after 10 years will be ...

    $20,000 * 2.45135708 ≈ $49,027.14

    __

    b) All but $20,000 of the above balance is interest, so the amount invested for the second period is $29,027.14.

    The multiplier for a continuously compounded interest rate r for t years is ...

    multiplier = e^ (rt)

    For your numbers, r=.105 and t=6, so the multiplier is e^.63 ≈ 1.8776106 and the account balance for an investment of $29,027.14 will be ...

    $29,027.14 * 1.8776106 ≈ $54,501.67
