Solution - Compound interest (basic)

9361.29

9361.29

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 6, 306$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 8$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.025$ , $n t = 16$ , so the growth factor is $1.4845056207$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $6, 306$ × $1.4845056207$ = $9361.29$ .
