Solution - Compound interest (basic)

69329.75

69329.75

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 19, 199$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 26$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.025$ , $n t = 52$ , so the growth factor is $3.6111123486$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $19, 199$ × $3.6111123486$ = $69329.75$ .
