Solution - Compound interest (basic)

10590.65

10590.65

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 9, 779$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 1$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0066666667$ , $n t = 12$ , so the growth factor is $1.0829995068$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $9, 779$ × $1.0829995068$ = $10590.65$ .
