D. $2,699

Answer 1

Answer:

The  alignment of numbers in the first part of the question is off. However, you solve this question as shown below. The correct answer is C. $1,124.

Explanation:

This is a one-time cashflow type of question where the principal amount is invested once and no other addition is made to the account. You use the future value formula to solve the result of the compounding effect at year 3.

FV formula;

FV = PV(1+r)^n

PV = 800

discount rate; r = 12% or 0.12

total duration of investment; n = 3

therefore; FV = 800(1+0.12)^3

FV = 800 * 1.404928

FV = 1123.94

To the nearest whole dollar, the amount will grow to $1,124
