compound-interest formula:
v = p( 1 + (r/n) )^(nt)
where:
v = final value
p = initial (principal) value
r = interest rate (as a decimal)
n = number of compounding periods per year
t = number of years
---
p = 60000
r = 0.08
n = 4
t = 50
---
v = 60000*( 1 + (0.08/4) )^(4*50)
v = 3149093.84
---
answer:
$3,149,093.84
