Solution - Compound interest (basic)

26445.85

26445.85

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 16, 518$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 12$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.04$ , $n t = 12$ , so the growth factor is $1.6010322186$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $16, 518$ × $1.6010322186$ = $26445.85$ .
