Answer:

$276.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the principal amount as 250 dollars and rate of interest as 2.5%. Furthermore, we are given that interest is compounded monthly and we are required to find the future value after 4 years.

Therefore, we will use compound interest formula:

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

Where, we have

[tex]P = 250, r = 0.025, n = 12, T = 4[/tex]

Thus, upon substituting these values in the formula, we get:

[tex]A=250(1+\frac{0.025}{12})^{12\cdot 4}\\A=250(1+0.002083333)^{48}\\A=250(1.002083333)^{48}\\A=250\cdot 1.10505596A=276.26[/tex]

Therefore, she will have $276.26 in her account after 4 years.

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Money she wil have after four years, $276.26

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Principal(P) =$ 250 , Annual interest Rate(r) = 2.5% and Time(t) = 4 years.

Also, n = 12

To find how much money will she have after 4 years.

The formula for amount is given by:

[tex]A = P(1+\frac{r}{100n})^{nt}[/tex]                   ......[1]

where

A represents  the Amount

P represents the Principal

r represents the annual rate of interest.

and t represents  the time in years.

Substitute the given values in [1] we get;

[tex]A = 250(1+\frac{2.5}{12 \cdot 100})^4\cdot 12[/tex]

[tex]A = 250(1+0.00208333333)^48[/tex]

or

[tex]A = 250(1.00208333)^48[/tex]

Simplify:

A=  $276.26

Therefore,  $276.26 money will she have after 4 years
