The amount kiera put into the account is 1000.00

Rate of interest is 13%

Time period is 4 years

Compound interest is calulated annully

The expression for thr compound interest is


\text{Amount}=P(1+(r)/(n))^(t* n)

From the given data, we have

P=1000, n=1, t=4 and r=13% or r=0.13

Substitute this value to find the net amount


\begin{gathered} \text{Amount}=1000(1+(0.13)/(1))^(4*1) \\ \text{Amount}=1000(1.13)^4 \\ Amount=1000(1.630) \\ \text{Amount}=1630 \end{gathered}

The net amount Kiera have in her account is 1630.
