Answer:

(d) 810.34

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula used for calculating the account's balance is given by:

A= P(1+R)^T

where: A= Amount (account's balance)

P= Principal  (700)

R= Rate (5%)

T= Time   (3 years) [since, the balance is calculated in the beginning of the  forth year]

A= P(1+R)^T

A = 700(1+0.05)^3

  = 700(1.05)^3

  = 700*1.157

  = 810.34
