a) Let's start, by remember that the formula to determine the future amount of money for certain investment with compound interest is:

FV=PV(1+rk(100))kn(1)\tag{1}F V=P V\left(1+\frac{r}{k(100)}\right)^{k n}

where FVF V is the amount after nn years, PVP V denotes the actual amount, rr denotes the rate and kk denotes how many compounding periods will be considered per year.
