Solution - Compound interest (basic)

38150.21

38150.21

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 1, 789$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 27$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.12$ , $n t = 27$ , so the growth factor is $21.3248807917$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $1, 789$ × $21.3248807917$ = $38150.21$ .
