Solution - Compound interest (basic)

14242.95

14242.95

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 255$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 3$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0091666667$ , $n t = 36$ , so the growth factor is $1.3888786292$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 255$ × $1.3888786292$ = $14242.95$ .
