Solution - Compound interest (basic)

25185.69

25185.69

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 18, 308$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 4$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0066666667$ , $n t = 48$ , so the growth factor is $1.3756661004$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $18, 308$ × $1.3756661004$ = $25185.69$ .
