The answer by @ewatrrr is different from my, since she makes intermediate rounding on the way;
I do not make intermediate rounding --- I round at the end, only, according to commonly accepted rules.


So, in sake of your safety, you better IGNORE her post.

Hi
 In General A%28t%29+=+P%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5E%28nt%29
A = Accumulated Amount
P= principal = 4000
r= annual rate = .02
n= periods per year = 12
t= years = 10
A%28t%29+=+4000%281%2B+.02%2F12%29%5E%28120%29

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
