P = the principal (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)
r = the annual rate of interest (percentage)
n = the number of years the amount is deposited or borrowed for.
A = the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
A = P(1 + r)^n
A = 8400(1 + 0.055)^4
A = 8400(1.055)^4
A = 8400(1.238824651)
A = 10,406.12707
The amount of money, assuming no withdrawals, after 4 years is $10,406 to the nearest unit.
