4) The formula for calculating the amount of money returned for an initial deposit into a bank account or CD (certificate of deposit) is given by

A is the amount of the return.
P is the principal amount initially deposited.
r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal).
n is the number of compound periods in one year.
t is the number of years.

Carry all calculations to six decimals on each intermediate step, then round the final answer to the nearest cent.

Suppose you deposit $4,000 for 8 years at a rate of 7%.

a) Calculate the return (A) if the bank compounds annually (n = 1). Round your answer to the hundredth's place.

Answer:

Show work in this space. Use ^ to indicate the power or use the Equation Editor in MS Word.
