Solution - Compound interest (basic)

15740.21

15740.21

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 558$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 10$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0033333333$ , $n t = 120$ , so the growth factor is $1.4908326824$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 558$ × $1.4908326824$ = $15740.21$ .
