Note: These are hypothetical scenarios; and, future rates of return can not be predicted with high certainty. The actual rate of return on investments can vary widely, especially for long-term investments. For example, interest rate changes, do you get paid biweekly; or, weekly, how often does your employer make bank deposits? In the example, the interest is compounded annually.
