In this problem, you are looking for the future value of your investment at the end of three years. Here are the given in the problem:
Principal (P) = $6,500
Rate (r) = 4%
Time (t) = 3 years
We shall be using this formula to compute the problem where A is the future value of the investment.
A = P (1 + rt)
Substituting the amount to the formula:
A = $6,500 [1 + (4% x 3)]
A = $7,280
