Answer:

$289,169.84 (to the nearest cent)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest is based on the principal amount and the interest that accumulates on it in every period.

Compound Interest = P (1 + r)^n

where P = principal amount, r = annual interest rate (as a decimal), n = term, in years​

So for this problem:

P = 185000

r = 1.4 ÷ 100 = 0.015

n = 30

Therefore,  

Compound Interest = P (1 + r)^n

                                = 185000 x (1 + 0.015)^30

                                = 185000 x (1.015)^30

                                = 289169.8408...

                                = $289,169.84 (to the nearest cent)
