Answer:

$3,619.09

Explanation:

liam deposits $2400 into an account that earns 8.3% interest compounded quarterly.

Compound interest formula is


A= P(1+ (r)/(n) )^(n*t)

where A is the final amount

P is the initial amount deposited

r is the rate of interest

n is the compounding period

t is the time in years

P= 2400, r= 8.3%= 0.083, t=5, n=4 (quarterly)

Plug in all the values


A= 2400(1+ (0.083)/(4) )^(4*5)

A= 3619.09
