A person places $2150 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 3.3%, compounded continuously. Using the formula V= Pe^rt, where V is the value of the account in t years, P is the principal initially invested, e is the base of a natural logarithm, and r is the rate of interest, determine the amount of money, to the nearest cent, in the account after 2 years.
