Answer: Kriz should pay $50,100 at the end of the term.

Explanation:

If the interest is compunded quarterly, then the accumulated amount after t years will be:


A=P(1+(r)/(400))^(4t) , where P= principal value , r = rate of interest .

Given: P= 50,000 , r= 5% = 0.05, t= 4 years

Then,


A=50000(1+(0.05)/(400))^(4(4))\\\\= 50000(1+0.000125)^(16)\\\\=50000(1.000125)^(16)\\\\=50000(1.002)\\\\=\$50,100

Hence, Kriz should pay $50,100 at the end of the term.
