Solution - Compound interest (basic)

5288.49

5288.49

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 3, 559$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 5$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.02$ , $n t = 20$ , so the growth factor is $1.485947396$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $3, 559$ × $1.485947396$ = $5288.49$ .
