Answer:

  (b)  $6,769

Step-by-step explanation:

The value in the account can be found by using the compound interest formula:

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

where P is the principal invested, r is the annual rate, n is the number of times per year interest is compounded, and t is the number of years.

apply formula

Using the given values in the formula, we have ...

  P = 5600, r = 0.019, n = 4, t = 10

  A = 5600(1 +0.019/4)^(4·10) = 5600×1.00475^40 ≈ 6768.752

The amount in the account at the end of 10 years was about $6,769.
