Suppose $2500 is invested at 4% interest, compounded quarterly. How much is the investment worth after 6 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
4% over 1 year = 1% per quarter.
6 years = 6*4 = 24 quarters.
The value of the investment after 24 quarters at 1% per quarter =
2500%2A%281.01%5E24%29.
Do this on a calculator and you get 2500%2A1.2697346 = highlight%283174.34%29.
