Solution - Compound interest (basic)

13242.41

13242.41

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 9, 604$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 3$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.055$ , $n t = 6$ , so the growth factor is $1.3788428068$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $9, 604$ × $1.3788428068$ = $13242.41$ .
