Solution - Compound interest (basic)

17985.52

17985.52

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 807$ , $r = 1 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 1$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.005$ , $n t = 2$ , so the growth factor is $1.010025$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 807$ × $1.010025$ = $17985.52$ .
