Ethan is planning for his retirement. He has narrowed it down to two investment options. The first is an IRA where monthly payments are made, in the amount of $416.66, for 30 years. The second is a Roth IRA where annual payments are made, in the amount of $5000, for 30 years. If both compound interest at a rate of 2.5%, determine which account will yield the largest future value for Ethan, and how much greater that value will be than that of the other account. Round your final answer to the nearest cent.

Read the excerpt from"Early Victorian Tea Set.”What could be more domestic, more unremarkable, more British, than a nice cup of tea? You could of course put the question the other way round and ask what could be less British than a cup of tea, given that tea is made from plants grown in India or China and often sweetened by sugar from the Caribbean. It is one of the ironies of British national identity – or perhaps it says everything about our national identity – that the drink which has become

Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave” by Neil MacGregor.In the early nineteenth century Japan had been effectively closed off from the world for 200 years. It had simply opted out of the community of nations.Kings are burning somewhere,Wheels are turning somewhere,Trains are being run,Wars are being won,Things are being doneSomewhere out there, not here.Here we paint screens.Yes . . . the arrangement of the screens.This is Stephen Sondheim’s musical tableau of the secluded and calmly self-contained country in 1853, just before American gunships forced its harbours to open to the world. It is a witty caricature of the dreamy and aesthetic Japanese, serenely painting screens while across the seas Europe and America industrialize and political turmoil rages.

Read the excerpt from "Early Victorian Tea Set” by Neil MacGregor.As it got cheaper, tea also spread rapidly to the working classes. By 1800, as foreigners remarked, it was the new national drink. By 1900 the average tea consumption per person in Britain was a staggering 6 lbs (3 kilograms) a year. In 1809 the Swede Erik Gustav Geijer commented:Next to water, tea is the Englishman’s proper element. All classes consume it . . . in the morning one may see in many places small tables set up under t

Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave” by Neil MacGregor.The Japanologist Donald Keene, from Columbia University, sees the wave as a metaphor for the changes in Japanese society:The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands: shimaguni konjo. Shimaguni is ‘island nations’ konjo is ‘character’. The idea is they are surrounded by water and, unlike the British Isles, which were in sight of the continent, are far away. The uniqueness of Japan is often brought up as a great virtue. A new change of interest in the world, breaking down the classical barriers, begins to emerge. I think the interest in waves suggests the allure of going elsewhere, the possibility of finding new treasures outside Japan, and some Japanese at this time secretly wrote accounts of why Japan should have colonies in different parts of the world in order to augment their own riches.The Great Wave, like the other images in the series, was printed in at least 5,000 impressions, possibly as many as 8,000, and we know that in 1842 the price of a single sheet was officially fixed at 16 mon, the equivalent of a double helping of noodles. This was cheap, popular art; but when printed in such quantities, to exquisite technical standards, it could be highly profitable.
