Part 1
The balance after 4 years will be $
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
To calculate the balance after 4 years, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A = the final amount
P = the principal amount (initial deposit)
r = the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = the number of times interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years
Given:
P = $2,500
r = 0.033 (3.3% expressed as a decimal)
n = 12 (compounded monthly)
t = 4 years
Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
A = 2500(1 + 0.033/12)^(12*4)
Calculating this expression, we find the balance after 4 years to be approximately $2,839.54.
