Solution - Compound interest (basic)

2196.58

2196.58

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 1, 734$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 2$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 8$ , so the growth factor is $1.2667700814$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $1, 734$ × $1.2667700814$ = $2196.58$ .
