Answer

So, the final answer is \(\boxed{\$7394.92}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given values are: Principal amount \(P = \$ 5200\), Annual interest rate \(r = 18 \% = 0.18\), Number of times interest is compounded per year \(n = 4\), Time in years \(t = 2\).

Step 2 :Calculate future value using the formula \(A = P * (1 + r/n)^{n*t}\).

Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula to get \(A = 5200 * (1 + 0.18/4)^{4*2}\).

Step 4 :The value of Juan's investment in 2 years will be \$7394.92 after rounding to the nearest cent.

Step 5 :So, the final answer is \(\boxed{\$7394.92}\).
