Lucy Mccullough · Answer 1

The amount is calculated by the formula

P=Po (1+r/100) ^n, where r is the rate of interest, Po is the principal amount and n is the interest period.

In this case, r = 0.02, p. a

Therefore, for the first quarter, r = 0.02/4 or 0.005

Hence the amount after the first quarter or period will be

P = 1.005Po or

P = Po (1+0.02/4)

Hence, the answer is either a or d
