You are a teller at a bank. A customer has come in asking to open a savings
account — just one of the many kinds of accounts that you handle. After deter-
mining that the customer wants a passbook savings rather than a certificate of
deposit, you remind the customer that all accounts are FDIC insured. You assign

compounded quarterly. The interest will appear automatically on the monthly
statement. The customer now can deposit and withdraw from the account.
