Let:
 
P be the initial amount of money called the Principal, 

compounded times a year, with an r annual interest rate, then after

many years, the amount of money A is given by the formula:


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


Remark
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

r is generally a percentage like 3%, 7% etc and are applied in the formula as 0.03, 0.07..., 

the interest is compounded generally annually (n=1), quarterly (n=4), monthly (n=12), etc...

t is in years,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thus, in our problem, P=$4,000, r=4%=0.04, n=12, t=1

Applying the formula:


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

[tex]A=4,000* (1+ \frac{0.04}{12} )^{12*1}=4,000(1+0.0033)^{12} [/tex]

[tex]=4,000*1.0407=4162.97[/tex]


At the end of the year Janise has 4,162.97-4,000≈163 more dollars than the Principal amount.

Thus, the interest earned during the year is 163 $.
