Answer 1

Answer:

$FV=887.3967212$ $

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compound-interest formula:

$FV=PV(1+\frac{r}{n}) ^{nt}$

Where:

FV=Future value or the ending amount

PV=Present value or the initial amount=750

n=Number of compoundings in any one year=2

t=Total number of years=4

r=interest rate=0.0425

Now, replacing the data in the equation:

$FV=750*(1+\frac{0.0425}{2}) ^{2*4} =887.3967212$ $
