Answer:

The correct answer is "$19,546.74".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Amount,

= $12,000

Years,

= 10

Interest rate,

= 10%

Now,

The future value will be:

⇒  [tex]Future \ value=Amount\times (1+Rate)^{Years}[/tex]

On substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

⇒                        [tex]=12000\times (1+5 \ percent)^{10}[/tex]

⇒                        [tex]=12000\times (1+0.05)^{10}[/tex]

⇒                        [tex]=12000\times (1.05)^{10}[/tex]

⇒                        [tex]=19,546.74[/tex] ($)
