Suppose $100 is deposited in a bank account paying 5% compounded annually. If the interest earned is X after 5 years, then the interest earned will be 2X after 10 years

Indicate whether the statement is true or false


False. Because of compounding, the balance on which interest is earned grows over time. Thus, the interest earned in years 6 to 10 will exceed the interest earned in years 1 to 5.
