Solution - Compound interest (basic)

41558.16

41558.16

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 3, 470$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 21$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 84$ , so the growth factor is $11.9764160675$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $3, 470$ × $11.9764160675$ = $41558.16$ .
