Growth and Decay: Find the final value of $2500 invested at an interest rate of 2% compound monthly for 10 years.

A = 2500(1 + .02/12)(10*12)

Where

A = The accumulated amount after some period - in this case, 10 years

2500 = the orginal principal

.02  = the interest rate expressed as a decimal

12 = the compoundings per year

10 = the number of years

Evaluating this, we have about $3053 after 10 years.
