Answer:

$87,929.98

Explanation:

The future value formula can be used for this:

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

where principal P is invested at annual rate r for t years, compounded n times per year. With your numbers, we have ...

FV = $59,000(1 +.02/4)^(4·20) ≈ $87,929.98

Henry will have $87,929.98 after 20 years.
