Answer:

Option c.) $4427.62

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/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  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

[tex]t=3\ years\\ P=\$4,000\\ r=3.4\%=3.4/100=0.034\\n=4[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  

[tex]A=4,000(1+\frac{0.034}{4})^{4*3}[/tex]  

[tex]A=4,000(1.0085)^{12}[/tex]  

[tex]A=\$4,427.62[/tex]
