Solution - Compound interest (basic)

43263.44

43263.44

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 688$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 18$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0125$ , $n t = 72$ , so the growth factor is $2.4459202681$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 688$ × $2.4459202681$ = $43263.44$ .
