How much will accumulate in an account with an initial
depositof $100, and which earns 10% interest compounded quarterly
forthree years?

Respuesta :

Answer: $134.49

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the accumulate amount in t years compounded quarterly :-

[tex]A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{4})^{4t}[/tex]

, where P= initial deposit

r= rate of interest

t=time

As per given , we have

P= $100

r= 10%=0.10

t=3

Accumulate Amount = [tex]A=100(1+\dfrac{0.10}{4})^{4(3)}[/tex]

[tex]A=100(1+0.025)^{12}[/tex]

[tex]A=100(1.025)^{12}[/tex]

[tex]A=100(1.3448888)=134.48888\approx134.49[/tex]

Hence, the accumulate in an account after three years will be $134.49 .
