Solution - Compound interest (basic)

8562.30

8562.30

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 7, 993$ , $r = 7 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 1$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.035$ , $n t = 2$ , so the growth factor is $1.071225$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $7, 993$ × $1.071225$ = $8562.30$ .
