Answer:
$591.60
Explanation:
The computation of the future value after two years is shown below:
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate)^number of years
where,
Present value = $500
Rate = 8.5% ÷ 4 = 2.125%
Number of years = 2 year × 4 = 8 years
So, the future value after two years is
= $500 × (1 + 2.125%)^8
= $500 × 1.1831956282
= $591.60
