Solution - Compound interest (basic)

11522.58

11522.58

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 125$ , $r = 13 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 1$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0108333333$ , $n t = 12$ , so the growth factor is $1.1380324816$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 125$ × $1.1380324816$ = $11522.58$ .
