) Let us assume that the interest was compounded annually. The formula for calculating compound interest is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

where

A is the amount after t years

P is the principal or initial amount invested

r is the interest rate

n is the number of compounding periods in a year

t is the number of years

From the information given,

P = 130

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year

t = 10

By substituting the values into the formula, we have

A = 130(1 + 0.04/1)^1 * 10

A = 130(1.04)^10

A = 192.43

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the amount after 10 years is $192
