Problema Solution

calculate the compound amount after 5 years for an investment of $7,700 at 6% interest compounded quarterly. (Points : 2.5)

Answer provided by our tutors

The formula for the compound amount is


A = P (1 + (r/n))^ (n*t)


P = $7,700

r = 0.06 (6%)

n = 4 (interest compounded quarterly)

t = 5 years


A = 7700*((1 + (0.06/4))^20)


A = $10370.8 approximately.
