    A grandmother deposited $5,000 in an account that pays 8% per year compounded annually when her granddaughter was born. What will the value of the account be when the granddaughter reaches her 16th birthday?

    We have the accumulation function A(t) = 5,000(1.08)^t.

    For t = 16, we have:
    A(16) = 5,000(1.08)^16
    A(16) = 5,000*3.42594264333
    A(16) = 17,129.71
