    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we want to deduce what would happen to the account balance given the above equation.

    A = 2500 (0.96) ^t

    This can be re-written as;

    A = 2500 (1-0.04) ^t

    or more generally as A = 2500 (1-r) ^t

    where r is our rate

    Now 0.04 is our rate of either increase or decrease, then it is expected to be written as a percentage.

    This means that 0.04 is same as 4/100 or just 4%

    Now, since there is a negative difference between 1 and r in the bracket or let's say the term in the bracket is less than 1, then what we shall be expecting is a decrease, year in year out

    Thus, the account balance is expected to decrease by 4% each year
