Solution - Compound interest (basic)

12568.95

12568.95

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 9, 893$ , $r = 2 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 12$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.005$ , $n t = 48$ , so the growth factor is $1.2704891611$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $9, 893$ × $1.2704891611$ = $12568.95$ .
