7).How much will accumulate in an account with an initial deposit of $100,and which earns 10% interest compounded quarterly for 3 years?
A.$107.69
B.$133.10
C.$134.49
D.$313.84
题目中的10%指的是什么?
100x(1+0.1)^12为什么不对呢?

10%……名义(年)利率;
compounded quarterly……应该是每年计息 4 次(每次计息利率(10%)/4=2.5%);
3 年后本息合计:100*(1+2.5%)^(3*4)≈134.49($);
