13937.44

13937.44

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 13, 261$ , $r = 1 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 5$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 5$ , so the growth factor is $1.0510100501$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $13, 261$ × $1.0510100501$ = $13937.44$ .
