Answer #1

Answer

Formula is:

FV=PV*(1+i)^n

i=effective quarterly interest rate =nominal annual interest rate /number of compounding in the period =9/4=2.25%

n=number of quarters =50*4=200

PV=present value =value deposited in the bank=1000

FV=1000*(1.0225^200)

=85637.3729

the amount is $85637.37
