Verified Answer :
Data:
P = 35000
r = 4% = 0,04
n = 4
t = 5
P' = ?
I = ?
We have the following compound interest formula
\(P' = P*(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\)
\(P' = 35000*(1+\frac{0,04}{4})^{4*5}\)
\(P' = 35000*(1+0,01)^{20}\)
\(P' = 35000*(1,01)^{20}\)
\(P' = 35000*(1.22019003995...)\)
\(P' \approx 42,706.66\)
So the new principal \(P'\) after 5 years is approximately $42,706.66.
Subtracting the original principal from this amount gives the amount of interest received:
\(P' - P = I\)
\(42,706.66 - 35000 = \boxed{7,706.66}\)
The interest earned on the amount will increase the net balance. The balance of Lynne's account in 5 years would become $76,689.31 approximately.
How to calculate compound interest's amount?
If the initial amount (also called as principal amount) is P, and the interest rate is R% per unit time, and it is left for T unit of time for that simple interest, then the interest amount earned is given by:

And thus, final amount will be:

For the given case, the principal amount (initial amount) Lynne invested is P = 35000 (in dollars)
The rate of interest = 4% compounding quarterly.
Here, unit of time is is quarter of an year which means 1/4 of an year.
The time is given to be 5 years. In each year, there are 4 quarters, so in 5 years, there would be 20 quarters of years.
Thus, T = 20 (we always need to keep unit of time same for R and T for using that formula).
Putting these values in the above formula, we get the final amount's value in Lynne's account in 5 years as:
@@MATH_TOKEN_2@@
Thus, the balance of Lynne's account in 5 years would become $76,689.31 approximately.
