$4847.20

Explanation:

Here principal (P) is $4500, period (t) is 2 years and rate of interest (r) is 4% compounded annually. We have to find out the total amount (A)i.e. principal+interest after 2 years.

We know #A = p(1+r/100)^t#

#A= 4500(1+4/100)^2#

#A= 4500*(26/25)^2#

#A = 4500*26/25*26/25#

#A = 4847.20#
