Answer:

$22,883

Explanation:

Principal Amount ( P ) = $16250

Interest Rate ( r ) = 4.9% or 0.049( divide by 100)

Term ( t ) = 7

Compounded monthly( n ) = 12

Formula for Compound Interest:

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

A = Future value

Solution:

Substitute the given values of P, r, n and t to the formula for the compound interest.

A = $16250 ( 1 + 0.049/12)^(7)(12)

A = $16250 ( 1.004083333)^(84)

A = $16250 ( 1.408184955 )

A = $22,883
