we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to


A=P(1+(r)/(n))^(nt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have


t=t\ years\\ P=\$10,000\\ r=0.12\\n=4

substitute in the formula above


A=10,000(1+(0.12)/(4))^(4t)


A=10,000(1+0.03)^(4t)


A=10,000(1.03)^(4t)

therefore

the answer is


A=10,000(1.03)^(4t)
