Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

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

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = £600

r = 3.2% = 3.2/100 = 0.32

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 6 years

Therefore,.

A = 600 (1 + 0.032/1) ^1 * 6

A = 600 (1.032) ^6

A = £724.82
