Since she will not need this money for a few years, she decides to put the money in a 3-year CD (Certificate of Deposit) at a local credit union. The credit union offers Lili 2.75% APR, compounded quarterly. How much will Lili's CD be worth at the end of the 3 years?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lili's CD be worth at the end of 3 years is $2714.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Lili deposit $2500 at the Annual percent rate 2.75% and for 3 years compounded quarterly.

Let's use formula

A = p$(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{n*t}$

From the given information

p=2500

r =0.0275

t=3

n=4

Plug in these values into the formula

A=2500$(1+\frac{0.0275}{4})^{4*3}$

Simplify the right side of the equation,

A=$2714.23
