Solution - Compound interest (basic)

127435.20

127435.20

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 14, 855$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 18$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 216$ , so the growth factor is $8.5786062989$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $14, 855$ × $8.5786062989$ = $127435.20$ .
