You make a $7,000 deposit to an investment account today. The investment earns 6% p.a compounding monthly for the first 12 months, then it earns 13%p.a compounding monthly for the next 3 years. At the end of the 4 years the balance in the account is (to the nearest whole dollar; don't use $ sign or commas)
We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/12)^12n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
A=7000*(1+0.06/12)^(12*12/12)*(1+0.13/12)^(12*3)
=7000*1.56479235
