Answer:

$5522.43

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount in an account for a principal P saved at compound interest for a duration of n years compounded with period k at an annual interest rate of r% is calculated using the formula:

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

In this case:

  • Principal, P=$5000
  • Interest Rate, r=5%=0.05
  • Time, n=2 years
  • Period, k=4(Quarterly)

Therefore, the amount is:

[tex]A(n)=5000(1+\frac{0.05}{4})^{4*2}\\=5000(1+0.0125)^{8}\\=5000(1.0125)^{8}\\=\$5522.43[/tex]

The amount of money in the account at the end of the two years is $5522.43.
