Answer:

C. $327.93

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for interest compounded quarterly is

A = P(1 + r/n)nt   where P is the principal

                                r is the rate

                                t is the time in years  

                                n is the compoundings per year

 p =230  r= .12  t= 3  n =4  since it is quarterly

Substituting these in

A = 230 (1+ .12/4)^(3*4)

   = 230(1.03)^12

    =327.93

Answer:

The answer is C. $327.93
