It looks like the table is not linear, so that means it would be exponential.

A) It looks like the investor has been saving his income.

B) Compound interest is the income of money, or an investor in this case, as an exponential chart.

C) Concluding that the numbers on the bottom (1, 2, 3, and 4) counts for months, and if it increasing by 10 percent, then it would probably be around 220 dollars, for the sake of estimation

D) If you have added 50 dollars, it would change by much more than 50 dollars. In fact, it would change by about 200 dollars by the end of the year!
