Answer:

$26,851.54

Explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:


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

P = initial balance

r = interest rate (decimal)

n = number of times compounded annually

t = time

Our first step is to change 5.5% into a decimal:

5.5% ->
(5.5)/(100) -> 0.055

Since the interest is compounded monthly, we will use 12 for n. Lets plug in the values now:


A=10,000(1+(0.055)/(12))^(12(18))


A=26,851.54

The ending balance after 18 years is $26,851.54
