Answer:

The amount is $2050

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Principal, P = $2,000

Rate, r = 2.5%

Time, t = 1 year

Number of times interest is compounded in a year, n = 1

The amount is given as:


\begin{gathered} A=P(1+(r)/(n))^(nt) \\ \\ =2000(1+0.025)^(1*1) \\ \\ =2000(1.025) \\ =2050 \end{gathered}

The amount is $2050
