Question:

A stonecutter, assigned to carve the headstone for a well-known engineering economist, began with the following design.
A stonecutter, assigned to carve the headstone for a well-known

He then started the equation as follows:
P = G(P/G, i, 6)
He realized he had made a mistake. The equation should have been
P = G(P/G, i, 5) + G(P/A, i, 5)
The stonecutter does not want to discard the stone and start over. He asks you to help him with his problem. The right-hand side must be for the first equation to be correct for the carved figure, multiplied by one compound interest factor, taking the form:
P = G(P/G, i, 6)( , i,)
Write the complete equation.

Compound Interest
Compound interest (or compounding interest) is interest calculated on the initial principal, which also includes all of the accumulated interest from previous periods on a deposit or loan. Thought to have originated in 17th century Italy, compound...
