Solution - Compound interest (basic)

52410.14

52410.14

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 880$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 10$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 120$ , so the growth factor is $3.3003868946$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 880$ × $3.3003868946$ = $52410.14$ .
