Correct answer: D
To find the compound interest, we use the formula:
Compound Interest (CI) = P * ((1 + r/100)^t - 1)
Calculation
Principal (P): 14,400
Rate (r): 10%
Time (t): 3 years
Calculate the growth factor:
(1 + 10/100)^3 = (1.1)^3 = 1.331
Apply the formula:
CI = 14,400 * (1.331 - 1)
CI = 14,400 * 0.331
CI = 4,766.4
