Find the accumulated amount A if the principal
P = $13,000 is invested at the interest rate of r
= 8% per year for t = 8.5 years, compounded quarterly.
Please round your answer to the nearest cent.
A = $_________
Required:
A = P(1 + r/n)t * n
P = Principal
A = Total amount
n = No. of times compounded per year
r = Anuual interest rate
t = Time
We have, Principal = $13,000, t = 8.5%, n = 4, r = 8%
A = $13,000 * ( 1 + 0.08 / 4)8.5 * 4
A = $13,000 * (1.02)34
A = $13,000 * 1.960676032
A = $25,489
Thus, accumulated amount = $25,489.
