Solution - Compound interest (basic)

10946.25

10946.25

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 2, 129$ , $r = 13 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 13$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.065$ , $n t = 26$ , so the growth factor is $5.1414995502$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $2, 129$ × $5.1414995502$ = $10946.25$ .
