Solution - Compound interest (basic)

5305.90

5305.90

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 3, 859$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 8$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 32$ , so the growth factor is $1.3749406785$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $3, 859$ × $1.3749406785$ = $5305.90$ .
