Solution - Compound interest (basic)

55914.75

55914.75

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 215$ , $r = 15 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 8$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0375$ , $n t = 32$ , so the growth factor is $3.248025067$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 215$ × $3.248025067$ = $55914.75$ .
