Solution - Compound interest (basic)

7256.86

7256.86

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 5, 072$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 9$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 36$ , so the growth factor is $1.4307687836$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $5, 072$ × $1.4307687836$ = $7256.86$ .
