A calculator or spreadsheet can evaluate the formulas for you using the given parameters.
The compound interest formula is ...
A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)
where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years.
The continuously compounded interest formula is ...
A = Pe^(rt) . . . . where P, r, t are defined as above
Often the function e^x is defined as the exp(x) function.

A calculator or spreadsheet can perform rounding for you, but we elected not to confuse the issue with that step. The calculator results below are rounded in the answer list above.
For part (a), we have ignored the fact that 7 years will have an additional week, since there are 1 or 2 extra days (beyond 52 weeks) in each year. Taking that into account adds a penny to the account balance.
