The compound interest formula is given by:
Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

So
(a) Find the amount in the account at the end of 1 year.
This is A(1).
(b) Find the amount in the account at the end of 2 years.
This is A(2).
