Ximena Atkins · Answer 2

Present value (PV) = $575.5

Interest rate (r) = 5% = 0.05

No of years (n) = 5 years

FV = PV (1+r) n

FV = $575.7 (1+0.05) 5

FV = $575.7 (1.05) 5

FV = $575.7 x 1.2763

FV = $734.77

Explanation:

Future value is equal to the product of present value and 1 + interest rate raised to power number of years. Since only $575.7 was invested for 5 years, we need to compound it for 5 years at an interest rate of 5% per annum.
