Answer 1

`\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+(r)/(n)\right)^(nt) \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$14000\\ r=rate\to 3.25\%\to (3.25)/(100)\to &0.0325\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{quarterly, thus four} \end{array}\to &4\\ t=years\to &4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=14000\left(1+(0.0325)/(4)\right)^(4\cdot 4)\implies A=14000(1.008125)^(16)`
