Answer:
1080
Explanation:
Compound interest involves the reinvesting of interest.
The formula for compound interest is given by:
[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]
Where P is the principal (i.e the beginning balance),
r is the rate,
n is the number of times it is compounded,
t is the number of years
A is the ending balance.
Given that P = 1000, r = 8% = 0.08, t =1 years and it is compounded annually (i.e n = 1).
Substituting values into the formula and calculating gives:
[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}\\A=1000(1+\frac{0.08}{1} )^{1*1}\\A= 1000(1+0.08)=1000(1.08)\\A=1080[/tex]
