Solution - Compound interest (basic)

26518.92

26518.92

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 14, 157$ , $r = 9 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 7$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0075$ , $n t = 84$ , so the growth factor is $1.8732019633$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $14, 157$ × $1.8732019633$ = $26518.92$ .
