Answer:

$852

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question, the following are given:

Present value, PV = $675

Rate, r = 6% = 0.06

Number of years, n = 2 years

Number of times per year, m = 2

The balance in his account is the future value (FV), so that;

Future value = PV[tex](1+r)^{nm}[/tex]

                     = 675[tex](1+0.06)^{(2*2)}[/tex]

                     = 675 x 1.26248

                     = 852.174

Future value = $852

Thus, the balance in Alex's account would be $852.
