    The formula used for this problem would be

    F = P (1+i) ^n, where F is the future worth, P is the present worth, i is the annual interest and n is the number of years. Substituting the known values, we could determine i.

    $390 + $4000 = $4000 (1+i) ^3

    (1+i) ^3 = $4390/$4000

    (1+i) = cube root (1.0975)

    1+i = 1.0315

    i = 1.0315 - 1

    i = 0.0315 * 100

    i = 3.15%

    The correct answer is 3.15%, From the choices, the nearest would be letter A.
