Answer:

Regency Bank : $51,347.27

King Bank : $46,590.99

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^mn

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

Regency Bank : $7,600 x (1.01)^(16 x 12) = $51,347.27

King Bank : $7600 x 1.12^16 = $46,590.99
