Given:

Principal Amount (P) = $540

Interest Rate ( r ) = 6% or 0.06

Term (t) = 3 years

Compounded annually (n) = 1

Formula for Compound Interest:

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

Solution:

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

A =$540( 1 + 0.06/1)^(3)(1)

A =$540( 1.06)^3

A =$540( 1.191016)

A = $643.15

Final answer:

A = $643.15
