Solution - Compound interest (basic)

1548.56

1548.56

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 1, 088$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 9$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.04$ , $n t = 9$ , so the growth factor is $1.4233118124$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $1, 088$ × $1.4233118124$ = $1548.56$ .
