Answer :

You invest $10,000 in an account with an APR of 2.75% monthly compounding. Find the accumulated balance in the account after 5 years.

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

[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

P=$10,000

r=2.75%=2.75/100=0.0275

t=5 years

n=12

substitute in the formula

[tex]A=10,000(1+\frac{0.0275}{12})^{(5\cdot12)}[/tex][tex]A=\$11,472.21[/tex]

answer is $11,472.21
