Steph21480 --

The $4,000 will be on deposit nine full years, making the calculation
$4,000 * (1.09)^9.

Paid as simple interest, as a bond -- with no compounding -- it would
be $8687.57.  However, if the interest compounds (as it would in most
savings or money market accounts), the amount would be $9469.45.
