Solution - Compound interest (basic)

16496.05

16496.05

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 11, 570$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 3$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 12$ , so the growth factor is $1.4257608868$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $11, 570$ × $1.4257608868$ = $16496.05$ .
