Compound amount = $8867.39

compound interest = $1867.39

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Principal(p) = $7000 Rate(r) = 0.12 Time(t) = 2 n= 4

We can calculate the compound amount(A) using the formula below:


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

Substitute the values and evaluate.


A=7000(1+(0.12)/(4))^(4*2)


=7000(1+0.03)^8
=7000(1.03)^8
\approx8867.39

Hence, the compound amount = $8867.39

We proceed to find the compound interest.

A = P + I

⇒ I = A - P

= 8867.39 - 7000

=1867. 39

Therefore, the compound interest = $1867.39
