If you took $1,000 and put it into an interest-bearing savings account compounding quarterly at 3%, how much would your fund be worth at the end of one year? A: $1,030.00 B: $1,120.00 C: $1,030.34 D: $1,120.33

C. $1030.34

Explanation:

Given:

Principal = $1,000

Interest = 3%

Number of Times = Quarterly

Time = 1 year

Interest Type = Compound Interest

Required

Amount at the end of the year

To solve this, I'll make use of Amount formula which is;

Using compound interest notations, the given parameters are:

P = $1,000

r = 3%

t = 1

Quarterly means 4 times a year;

So, n = 4

Solving for Amount (A), the formula becomes

Convert percent to decimal

Solve the expression in the bracket

Solve the exponent

(Approximated)

Hence, the amount at the end of the year is approximately $1030.34
