Answer:

$247,300

Explanation:

Given that

Invested amount = Present value = $11,2000

Time = 10 years × 4 quarter = 40

The rate = 8% ÷ 4 = 2%

So, we have to applying the future value formula which is presented below:

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^ time period

                      = $112,000 × (1 + 0.02)^40

                      = $112,000 × 1.02^40

                      = $112,000 ×2.2080396636

                      = $247,300
