Example: In 2004 and 2005 you deposit 12 every day and in 2006
you deposit 15 every day. The effective annual interest is 9% in 2004
and 2005 and 12% in 2006 with daily compounding. Find the
amount in account at the end of 2006 if:
(a) exactly based on daily deposits.
(b) using continuous deposits as an approximation.
Let j1 be the equivalent daily rate in 2004 and 2005 and j2 be the
equivalent daily rate in 2006. Then (1 + j1 )365 = 1.09 whence
j1 = 0.0002 and (1 + j2 )365 = 1.12 whence j2 = 0.0003. So the

(b) with continuous deposits, the total per year in 2004 2005 is

This can be regarded as an equation with 4 unknowns M, J, i, n.
Whenever we are given 3 variables, we can solve for the forth.
How much money J we have to put down each of n periods that an
annuity with interest i accumulates to M ? Solve for J to get
