Given:

Principal Amount ( P ) = £2000

Interes Rate ( r ) = 5.5% or 0.055 ( divide by 100)

Term ( t ) = 3

Compounded continuously ( n ) = 1

Formula for Compound Interest:

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

A = Future value

Solution:

Substitute the given values of P, r, n and t to the formula for the compound interest.

A =£2000 ( 1 + 0.055/1)^(3)(1)

A = £2000( 1.055)^3

A = £2000( 1.174)

A = £2,348.48

Final answer:

A = £2,348.48
