Answer

\( \boxed{\$68185.00} \)

Steps

Step 1 :Use the formula for continuous compounding interest: \( A = P \cdot e^{(rt)} \)

Step 2 :Substitute the given values: \( P = \$9000 \), \( r = 0.0675 \), \( t = 30 \)

Step 3 :Calculate the accumulated amount: \( A = 9000 \cdot e^{(0.0675 \cdot 30)} \)

Step 4 :Round the final answer to the nearest cent

Step 5 :\( \boxed{\$68185.00} \)
