Solution - Compound interest (basic)

17020.16

17020.16

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 557$ , $r = 1 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 9$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0025$ , $n t = 36$ , so the growth factor is $1.0940514008$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 557$ × $1.0940514008$ = $17020.16$ .
