Solution

To solve this problem, we can use the formula for compound interest, which is:

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

where:

  • A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
  • P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money).
  • r is the annual interest rate (in decimal form, so 4.7% becomes 0.047).
  • n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.
  • t is the time the money is invested for in years.

In this case, P = $60,000, r = 0.047, n = 4 (since the interest is compounded quarterly), and t = 11.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

A = 60000 (1 + 0.047/4)^(4*11)

Now, we just need to calculate the value of A.

A = 60000 (1 + 0.01175)^(44) A = 60000 (1.01175)^(44) A = 60000 * 1.681067

So, A ≈ $100,864.02

Rounding to the nearest hundred dollars, the amount of money in the account after 11 years would be approximately $100,900.
