Answer:

Evans would have $852.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]PV = \$800[/tex]

[tex]r = 3.25\%[/tex]

[tex]t = 2[/tex]

[tex]n = 1[/tex] --- annually'

Required

The future value

This is calculated using:

[tex]FV = PV*(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]FV = 800 * (1 + 3.25\%/1)^{2*1}[/tex]

[tex]FV = 800 * (1 + 3.25\%)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]FV = 800 * (1 + 0.0325)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]FV = 800 * (1 .0325)^2[/tex]

[tex]FV = 852.845[/tex]

[tex]FV = 852.8[/tex]

FV =
