Answer 1

It is given that 13000 was borrowed from the bank at the rate of 7% compunded quarterly for 4.5 years.

The number of compounding periods is given by

`kn=4.5*4=18`

The amount is given by:

`\begin{gathered} A=P(1+((r)/(k))/(100))^(kn) \\ A=13000(1+((7)/(4))/(100))^(18) \\ A=17764.90439\approx17764.90 \end{gathered}`

Hence the amount is $17764.90

Option A is correct.
