Answer:

The amount in 5 years will be $1,050.75

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the worth of the given amount of money in the next 5 years

We use the compound interest formula here;

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

A is the amount after the given number of years

P is the amount invested which is $1,000

r is the rate which is 0.995% which is 0.995/100 = 0.00995

n is the number of times per year interest is compounded and that is 1

t is the number of years which is 5

substituting these values, we have

A = 1000( 1 + 0.00995/1)^5

A = 1000(1.00995)^5

A = $1,050.75
