Compound Interest

To solve this problem, we have to find the interest compounded at annual interval here;

[tex]C.I = P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^n^t[/tex]

Let's substitute the values into the equation and solve.

[tex]c.i = p(1+\frac{r}{n})^n^t\\ c.i = 7362*(1 + \frac{0.0485}{1})^1^*^9\\c.i = 7362 * 1.531\\c.i= 11,271.22[/tex]
