If the principal is a ($), the annual interest rate is r (%),
and the number of years of interest accumulation is x (years),
the final amount y ($) is given by the following equation:
(1) Find the final amount when a principal of $400,000 is
deposited for three years at an annual interest rate of 5%
and the interest is compounded annually.
(2) When a principal of $300,000 is deposited for five years
and the interest is compounded annually, the final amount is
$
