Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Option B. $5737.62Step-by-step explanation:we know that The compound interest formula is equal to [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex] where A is the Final Investment Value P is the Principal amount of money to be invested r is the rate of interest in decimal
t is Number of Time Periods n is the number of times interest is compounded per year
in this problem we have [tex]t=4\ years\\ P=\$5,000\\ r=0.035\\n=1[/tex] substitute[tex]A=\$5,000(1+\frac{0.035}{1})^{1*4}[/tex] [tex]A=\$5,000(1.035)^{4}[/tex] [tex]A=\$5,737.62[/tex]
