Answer:

=$9,853.70 and $2,653.70

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating compound interest is

FV = PV × (1+r)n

where FV = Future Value

PV = Present Value, $7200

r = annual interest rate, 4 % or 0.04

n = number of periods... 8

The compound amount

Fv = 7200 x ( 1+ 0.04 )8

=7200 x 1.3685690

=$9,853.69

=$9,853.70

The interest will be

= $9853.70 - $7,200

= $2,653.70
