__Method__
We calculated the best fit exponentially. We did the calculations by hand. The excel spreadsheet would not calculate the right trendline. It used continuous compounding interest (Pe^rt) instead just the basic exponential formula.

__**Graph(s)**__




__Solution__
y = .01 ( 2) ^(x-1)

__Explanation__
If you use a 31 day month, your exponent would only be 30 because you receive only .01 on the first day and you receive $10, 737,418.24. If you use a 30 day month you would use 29 in the exponent and would only receive $5,368,709.12. So, depending on the month would depend on the option you would choose.
