An investment of $7,650 earns interest at the rate of 5% and is compounded quarterly. What is the accumulated value of the investment at the end of 9 years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$11,964.17[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

[tex]t=9\ years\\ P=\$7,650\\ r=5\%=5/100=0.05\\n=4[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above

[tex]A=7,650(1+\frac{0.05}{4})^{4*9}[/tex]  

[tex]A=7,650(1.0125)^{36}[/tex]  

[tex]A=\$11,964.17[/tex]
