<PRE><B>Question 754259</B>
For the investment with interest compounded annually, find the final balance and the total interest earned. 

$500 for 2 years at 8%

A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
A(2) = 500(1+(0.08/1))^(1*2)
A(2) = 500(1.08)^2
A(2) = $583.20
---
Total balance = $583.20
Total interest = $83.20
