Question

You deposit $2000 into a savings account to pay 5% interest compounded annually if you make no more deposit or any withdrawal is right in equation that shows how much money will be in the account after five years.

Answer 1

Answer: A = 2000(1.05)^5

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $2000

r = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 5 years

Therefore, the equation that shows how much money will be in the account after five years is

A = 2000(1 + 0.05/1)^1 × 5

A = 2000(1.05)^5
