1) In this case, Carter will invest 600 with an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly in 7 years, his future value (A) will be found by:


\begin{gathered} A=P(1\text{ +}(r)/(n))^(nt) \\ A=600(\text{ 1+}(0.12)/(12))^(12\cdot7) \\ A=600(1+0.01)^(84) \\ A=600(1.01)^(84) \\ A=600(2.306722744) \\ A=1384.03 \end{gathered}

2) So Carter, will take $1384.03 from his investment after 7 years, considering that within that period no other deposit will be made.
