Answer:

$20,086.35

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the maturity value by compound interest, we will use the formula

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

where,

A = Maturity amount

P = Principal amount = $10,000

r = rate of interest = 4.65% = 0.0465

n = number of compounding periods = 365

t = time in years = 15 years

Now substituting the values,

[tex]A=10,000(1+\frac{0.0465}{365})^{(365)(15)}[/tex]

   = [tex]10,000(1+0.000127)^{(365)(15)}[/tex]

   [tex]=10,000(1.000127^{5475})[/tex]

   = 10,000(2.008635)

  = 20086.353758 ≈ $20,086.35

The final value of your investment would be $20,086.35.
