Answer:

Option 4 is correct

Explanation:

If the rate is compounded continuously, the formula used to find the future value is:

A= Pe^rt

Where A = Future Value

P= Principal amount

r = interest rate in decimal

t = time

For the given data:

A=?

P = $5000

r = 7% or 0.07

t = 6

Putting values in the above formula

A= 5000e^(0.07 *6)

A = 7609.81

So, Option 4 is correct.
