(b) Suppose all four quarters in the year are considered equal,and time is measured in years. Derive expressions for Smith’saccumulated amount func- tion A(t), the close-out balance at timet. Consider separately the four inter- vals 0 ? t ? 0.25, 0.25 ? t? 0.50, 0.50 ? t ? 0.75 and 0.75 ? t ? 1 and draw the time diagramfor each of these cases.

(c) Using part (b), show that if 0 ? t ? 0.25, then it followsthat ?t = ?t+0.25 = ?t+0.50 = ?t+0.75.
