14919.16

14919.16

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 5, 380$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 9$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.12$ , $n t = 9$ , so the growth factor is $2.7730787575$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $5, 380$ × $2.7730787575$ = $14919.16$ .
