Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Option D.$8820Step-by-step explanation:we know that The compound interest formula is equal to [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex] where A is the Final Investment Value P is the Principal amount of money to be invested r is the rate of interest in decimal
t is Number of Time Periods n is the number of times interest is compounded per year
in this problem we have [tex]t=2\ years\\ P=\$8,000\\ r=5\%=5/100=0.05\\n=1[/tex] substitute in the formula above [tex]A=8,000(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1*2}[/tex] [tex]A=8,000(1.05)^{2}[/tex] [tex]A=\$8,820[/tex]
