COMPOUND INTEREST
A=P(1+(r/n)^nt
Where:
A = the future balance
P = the principal amount = $10,000
r = annual interest rate = 4% or 0.04
n = 4 (quarterly)
t = the number of years = 10
Plug these values into the formula
A = 10000(1 + 0.04/4))^(4*10)
$14,888.64
The balance in the account after 10 years $14,888.64
