Question

raden · Answer

use the formula :
Tn = a1 * r^(n-1)

in this case,
n = 12, r = 1.03, also given a1 = 14
now plugin all values to formula above

raden · Answer

i got different like yours

raden · Answer

can you recheck again your calculation

Tn = a1 * r^(n-1)
T12 = a1 * r^(12-1)
T12 = 14 * (1.03)^11
T12 = 14 * 1.384
T12 = ..... ?
