Solution - Compound interest (basic)

79113.80

79113.80

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 3, 548$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 26$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 312$ , so the growth factor is $22.2981390919$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $3, 548$ × $22.2981390919$ = $79113.80$ .
