In order to determine what is the value of the account after 10 years, use the following formula:


C^(\prime)=C_o(1+(r)/(100))^n

where:

C': final amount of money = ?

Co: intial amount of money = $600.00

r: monthly rate interest = 2%

n: number of months = 43 years = 516 months

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for C':


\begin{gathered} C^(\prime)=(600.00)(1+(2)/(100))^(516) \\ C^(\prime)=(600.00)(27,396.1) \\ C^(\prime)=16,437,655.7 \end{gathered}

Hence, the final value of the account is $16,437,655.7
