Answer:

$1,213.14

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:


500(1+(.0444)/(12))^(20(12)) = 1,213.14

Your answer is $1,213.14.
