B)\:\operatorname{\$}1044.28

1) Since this investment will be done at a 5% interest rate compounded continuously, we can write the following:


\begin{gathered} A(t)=P_0e^(rt) \\ \\ A(8)=700e^(0.05*8) \\ \\ A(8)=700e^(0.4) \\ \\ A(8)\approx1044.28 \end{gathered}

2) So, we can tell that given there will not be withdrawals or another investment in this account, after 8 years the future value is:


\$1044.28

Thus, the answer is B.
