Solution - Compound interest (basic)

5372.75

5372.75

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 4, 960$ , $r = 2 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 4$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0016666667$ , $n t = 48$ , so the growth factor is $1.0832149311$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $4, 960$ × $1.0832149311$ = $5372.75$ .
