Solution - Compound interest (basic)

31465.36

31465.36

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 19, 317$ , $r = 10 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 5$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.05$ , $n t = 10$ , so the growth factor is $1.6288946268$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $19, 317$ × $1.6288946268$ = $31465.36$ .
