Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify Given Values

We are given the following values:

  • Present Value (\( PV \)) = \$4300
  • Interest Rate (\( r \)) = \( 8 \frac{3}{8} \% = \frac{67}{800} \)
  • Time (\( t \)) = \( 2 \frac{1}{4} \) years = \( \frac{9}{4} \)
Step 2: Convert Interest Rate to Decimal

Convert the interest rate from a percentage to a decimal: \[ r = \frac{67}{800} = 0.08375 \]

Step 3: Calculate Future Value

Using the formula for future value: \[ FV = PV \times (1 + r)^t \] Substituting the values: \[ FV = 4300 \times (1 + 0.08375)^{\frac{9}{4}} \] Calculating this gives: \[ FV \approx 5152.99 \]

Final Answer

The future value is approximately \(\boxed{FV = 5152.99}\).
