Solution
To calculate the amount of money in Bona's account at the end of the tenth year, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) Where:
A = the final amount of money
P = the principal amount (initial amount deposited)
r = annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal)
n = number of times interest is compounded per year
t = number of years
Given values:
P = 100,000 birr
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 1 (compounded yearly)
t = 10 years
Plugging the values into the formula:
A = 100,000(1 + 0.07/1)^(1*10)
= 100,000(1 + 0.07)^10
= 100,000(1.07)^10
≈ 196,715.14 birr.
Therefore, the amount of money in Bona's account at the end of the tenth year will be approximately 196,715.
