With compound interest on a principal of $5,000.00 at a rate of 8% per year compounded 1 time per year over 12 years is $12,590.85.

<h3>Compound interest</h3>

Given Data

Assuming a compounded interest approach

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $5,000.00

I (interest) = $7,590.85

Calculation Steps:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.08/1)(1)(12)

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.08)(12)

A = $12,590.85
