$206.23
$412.64
$2,343.56
$4,687.11

Answer:

[tex]\$412.64[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

[tex]A=P(e)^{rt}[/tex]  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

we have  

[tex]t=9\ years\\ P=\$315\\ r=0.03[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  

[tex]A=\$315(e)^{0.03*9}=\$412.64[/tex]

Answer: $412.64
