Answer:

Amount in savings account after 7 and a half years is $8,113.62

Explanation:

Given:

Quarterly payments made in savings account (pmt) = $200

Annual interest rate = 8%

Quarter interest rate (rate) = 8÷4 = 2%

Compounding period (nper) = 7 and a half years or 7.5×4 = 30 quarterly payments

This is an annuity as uniform amount of $200 is deposited every quarter.

Savings at the end of seven and a half years mean future value of annuity.

Future value of annuity can be computed using spreadsheet function =FV(rate, nper,pmt,PV)

Savings account will have $8113.62 at the end of seven and a half years.
