Solution - Compound interest (basic)

5486.69

5486.69

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 1, 480$ , $r = 14 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 10$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.14$ , $n t = 10$ , so the growth factor is $3.7072213141$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $1, 480$ × $3.7072213141$ = $5486.69$ .
