Answer:

  • $1096.01

-------------------------------------

Given:

  • Deposit P = $3967,
  • Interest rate r = 5% = 0.05,
  • Time t = 5 years,
  • Number of compounds n = 1.

Find  the total amount after 5 years:

  • [tex]A = P(1 + r/n)^{nt}[/tex]
  • [tex]A = 3967(1+0.05/1)^{5*1}=3967(1.05)^5=5063.01\ rounded[/tex]

Find the amount of interest:

  • I = A - P
  • I = 5063.01 - 3967 = 1096.01
