Given that

Principal = $1650

Rate of interest = 6% per year

And Interest is compounded quarterly

Formula for Amount of compond interest is as follows


Amount = Principal × ( 1 + (r/100))^n

in our case

Principal = 1650

r = rate of interest for a quarter = 6/4= 1.5%

n = number of times interest calculated , and since interest is compounded quarterly , in two quarters two times interest is calculated. so n = 2

Putting this values in above formula

Amount = 1650 ( 1 + (1.5)/100)^2 = $1699.87

So Malik fulton saving account will have $1699.87
