Solution - Compound interest (basic)

15596.52

15596.52

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 276$ , $r = 6 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 4$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.005$ , $n t = 48$ , so the growth factor is $1.2704891611$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 276$ × $1.2704891611$ = $15596.52$ .
