15710.77

15710.77

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 041$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 9$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 9$ , so the growth factor is $1.3047731838$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 041$ × $1.3047731838$ = $15710.77$ .
