    Total amount Stacy Henry will have after 2 years=$25,335

    Explanation:

    To calculate the compound interest, we cause the formula for calculating compound interest;

    A=P{1+r/n) ^nt

    where;

    A=future value of the investment

    P=Principal amount invested

    r=annual interest rate

    n=number of times the interest is compounded per unit time

    t=time the money is invested for

    In our case we are given;

    P=$20,000

    r=12%=12/100=0.12

    n=every three months a year=12/3=4

    t=2 years

    replacing in the formula above;

    A=20,000 (1+0.12/4) ^ (4*2)

    A=20,000 (1+0.03) ^8

    A=20,000*1.26677

    A=25,335

    Total amount Stacy Henry will have after 2 years=$25,335
