Answer:

$5,796.37

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

Now lets plug in the values into the equation:


5,000(1+(0.03)/(1))^5 = 5,796.37

Your answer is $5,796.37
