$\begin{array}{cccc}\text { Principal } & \text { Rate } & \text { Compounded } & \text { Time } \\ \$ 530 & 4.35 \% & \text { Quarterly } & 2 \text { years }\end{array}$
The future value is $\$$ $\square$ , and the compound interest is $\$$ $\square$ .
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the Future Value (FV)
To calculate the future value, we use the formula:
\[ FV = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{n}\right)^{nT} \]
Substituting the given values:
\[ FV = 530 \left(1 + \frac{0.0435}{4}\right)^{4*2} = 577.9 \]
Step 2: Calculate the Compound Interest (CI)
The compound interest is calculated by subtracting the principal from the future value:
\[ CI = FV - P \]
Substituting the calculated FV and given P:
\[ CI = 577.9 - 530 = 47.9 \]
Final Answer:
The future value of the investment is \$577.9 and the compound interest earned is \$47.9.
