Solution - Compound interest (basic)

84024.23

84024.23

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 8, 706$ , $r = 13 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 18$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.065$ , $n t = 36$ , so the growth factor is $9.6513014333$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $8, 706$ × $9.6513014333$ = $84024.23$ .
