Answer:

$3,958.19

Explanation:

You are going to want to use the compound interest formula, which is shown below.


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

P = initial balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times compounded annually

t = time

Lets plug in the values into the equation:


3,000(1+(0.057)/(1))^5 = 3,958.19

Your final answer is $3,958.19
