Given:

Principal Amount ( P ) = $2410

Interes Rate ( r ) = 12% or 0.12 ( divide by 100)

Term ( t ) = 3

Compounded monthly ( n ) = 12

Formula for Compound Interest:

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

A = Future value

Solution:

Substitute the given values of P, r, n and t to the formula for the compound interest.

A = $2410 ( 1 + 0.12/12)^(3)(12)

A = $2410 ( 1.01 )^36

A = $2410 (1.430768784)

A = $3449.15

Final answer:

A = $3449.15
