    b. $5178.09

    Explanation:

    Use future value (FV) formula;

    FV = PV (1+r) ^t

    PV = Initial deposit = $5,000

    r = daily interest rate in this case = 5.25%/360 = 0.014583% or 0.00014583 as a decimal.

    t = total duration of investment (# of days in this case) = 8*30 = 240 days

    Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;

    FV = 5,000 * (1+0.00014583) ^240

    FV = 5,000 * 1.035616238

    FV = 5,178.0812

    Therefore, the account will have 5,178.09 after 8 months.
