Answer:

$10,306.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

P = initial balance

r = interest rate (decimal)

n = number of times compounded annually

t = time

First, lets change 5.2% into a decimal:

5.2% -> [tex]\frac{5.2}{100}[/tex] -> 0.052

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, we will use 4 for n. Lets plug in the values now:

[tex]A=5,000(1+\frac{0.052}{4})^{4(14)}[/tex]

[tex]A=10,306.21[/tex]

The account balance will be $10,306.21
