Answer

$y=2000(1.0125)^{4t}$

Work Step by Step

The given values are Initial amount $P=\$2000$. Rate of interest $r=5\%=0.05$. Number of time interest is compounded per year. $n=4$. Formula for the compound interest $\Rightarrow y=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow y=2000(1+\frac{0.05}{4})^{4t}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=2000(1+0.0125)^{4t}$ $\Rightarrow y=2000(1.0125)^{4t}$.
