Solution - Compound interest (basic)

12930.96

12930.96

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 190$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 8$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.015$ , $n t = 16$ , so the growth factor is $1.2689855477$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 190$ × $1.2689855477$ = $12930.96$ .
