12869.24

12869.24

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 8, 694$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 10$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.04$ , $n t = 10$ , so the growth factor is $1.4802442849$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $8, 694$ × $1.4802442849$ = $12869.24$ .
