$2,693.12 will the employee have eared at the end of 5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of compound interest:

A= The amount in the account after n years

P= Principal

r= rate of interest annually

n= time in years.

An employee put $5,000 in retirement account that offer 9% interest compounded annually.

Here P=$5,000, r=9%=0.09, n= 5 years

   =$7,693.12

The interest = A-P

                   =$(7,693.12-5,000)

                   =$2,693.12

$2,693.12 will the employee have eared at the end of 5 years.
