$60,384.33

1) Let's gather the data:


\begin{gathered} A=Pe^(rt) \\ \end{gathered}

Initial and unique deposit: $47,500.00

Rate of Annual Interest: 0.04 (4%) per year

Time: 6 years

2) So let's plug those data into the formula:


\begin{gathered} A=47,500e^(0.04\cdot6) \\ A\approx60,384.33 \end{gathered}

3) Hence, the account of Neda will be worth $60,384.33
