$$Compound\ interest\ =\ p\left(1+\frac{r\%}{n}\right)^{nt}$$
$$where\ p=principal\ =\ $3000$$
$$r=rate\ =\ 6\%$$
$$n=\ number\ of\ times\ interest\ is\ compounded\ =\ 12$$
$$t=time\ /year\ =\ 1$$
$$compound\ interest\ =\ 3000\left(1+\frac{6}{100}\cdot\frac{1}{12}\right)^{12}$$
$$\ \ 3000\left(1+\frac{6}{1200}\right)^{12}$$
$$\ \ 3000\cdot1.005^{12}$$
$$\ \ 3000\cdot1.0617$$
$$$3185.1$$
$$Answer\ =\ C$$

A. $2,160

Answer: C

Solution:

We use the compound interest formula A = P(1 + r/n)^nt, where A is the ending amount, P is the starting amount (P = $3,000), r is the interest rate (r = 0.06), n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year (n = 12), and t is the number of years (t = 1).

The amount of money in the account, rounded to the nearest dollar, at the end of one year is:

A = 3000(1 + 0.06/12)^12 = 3000(1.005)^12 = $3,185
