Answer:


\$3,200.57

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to


A=P(e)^(rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

e is the mathematical constant number

we have


t=7\ years\\ P=\$1,120\\ r=0.15

substitute in the formula above


A=\$1,120(e)^(0.15*7)=\$3,200.57
