Answer: 1) $3885 2) $4312.35

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the compound amount is given by :-

$A=P(1+r)^t$ , where P is the principal amount , r is the rate of interest and t is the time period.

Given : Principal amount : $P=\$3500$ ,

Rate of interest : $r=0.11$

When t=1 , then the amount in the account at the end of 1 year:-

$A=3500(1+0.11)^1=\$3885$

When t=2 , then the amount in the account at the end of 1 year:-

$A=3500(1+0.11)^2=\$4312.35$
