You walk into the bank and see a sign advertising a CD special-this week only. It offers 5.5% per year on any investment of 4 years. You check your bank account balance and decide you can afford to invest $500 and you buy the CD (spend the $500 on a CD). What is the total value of the account (including interest) after 4 years? Assume re-investment of interest each year.
