Question

A saving account accrues interest at a rate of 3.0% yearly. If someone opens an account with 2,500 how much money would the account have after 5 years?

A. 2,575.00
B. 2,813.77
C. 2,898.19
D. 2,985.13

Answer 1

The future worth (F) of the current investment (P) with interest i is calculated through the equation,
F = P x (1 + i)^n
Substituting the known values to the given equation,
F + (2500) x (1 + 0.03)^5 = 2898.19
Thus, the account would have approximately 2898.19.
