Solution - Compound interest (basic)

14824.80

14824.80

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 552$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 3$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.12$ , $n t = 3$ , so the growth factor is $1.404928$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 552$ × $1.404928$ = $14824.80$ .
