Solution - Compound interest (basic)

25525.99

25525.99

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 24, 296$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 1$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.025$ , $n t = 2$ , so the growth factor is $1.050625$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $24, 296$ × $1.050625$ = $25525.99$ .
