Answer

$\$4983.73$.

Work Step by Step

Let the money owed $=A$. The given values are Time $t=4\;years$. Borrowed $P=\$4000$. Rate of interest $r=5.5\%=0.055$. Number of periods $n=52$. Formula $A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$. Substitute all values into the formula. $A=4000(1+\frac{0.055}{52})^{52\cdot 4}$. Simplify. $A=4000(1+0.0010576923)^{ 208}$ $A=4000(1.0010576923)^{ 208}$ $A=4983.73$.
