Solution - Compound interest (basic)

1292.03

1292.03

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 1, 030$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 2$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.12$ , $n t = 2$ , so the growth factor is $1.2544$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $1, 030$ × $1.2544$ = $1292.03$ .
