Let say you have A dollars in the account. After one year you will have A*103.2/100 dollars. Now your money is A*103.2/100. After one year later you will have (A*103.2/100)*(103.2/100) dollars. So your money will be A*(103.2/100)^n after n years.

So answer is 2000*(103.2/100)^12= 2918.68 dollars.
