FV+=+PV%281+%2B+r%29%5En Where PV is present value, r is the interest PER COMPOUNDING PERIOD, and n is the number of compounding periods.

Since you are compounding an annual interest rate monthly, you have to divide the interest rate by 12 to get r and multiply the number of years by 12 to get n.

Plug in the numbers and use your calculator. Remember to round your answer to the nearest cent.
