Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is "$ 11,961.43"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

P =  $ 9500

r= 2.1 %

time (t)= 11 year

total quarterly year =4

Formula:

[tex]A= P (1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\\\\[/tex]

quarterly time = [tex]4 \times 11[/tex]

                         [tex]= 44[/tex]

[tex]A= P (1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]A = 9500 ( 1+ \frac{0.021}{4})^{44}\\\\A = 9500(\frac{4+ 0.021}{4} )^{44} \\\\A = 9500(\frac{4.021}{4} )^{44} \\\\A= 9500 (1.00525)^{44}\\\\A= 9500(1.25909819)\\\\A= 11,961. 43\\[/tex]
