Solution - Compound interest (basic)

8988.67

8988.67

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 3, 058$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 27$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0033333333$ , $n t = 324$ , so the growth factor is $2.9393956236$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $3, 058$ × $2.9393956236$ = $8988.67$ .
