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.
