Solution - Compound interest (basic)

62552.44

62552.44

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 686$ , $r = 15 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 12$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0375$ , $n t = 48$ , so the growth factor is $5.8536810923$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 686$ × $5.8536810923$ = $62552.44$ .
