Use the compound interest formula:

------------------------------------------
where,

A = amount in the account after t years
P = initial amount invested
r = interest rate (in decimal form)
n = compounding frequency
t = number of years

In this case,

A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 140
r = 0.03 (3% = 3/100 = 0.03)
n = 1 (the money is compounded 1 time per year)
t = 16

------------------------------------------

Plug all these values into the formula to get...

Round to the nearest cent (hundredth)

------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------

Final Answer: $224.66
