To calculate the expression \( a = 600(1 + 0.12/1)^1 \times 2 \), we first simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
1. Calculate \( 0.12/1 = 0.12 \).
2. Then, add 1 to this result:
\[
1 + 0.12 = 1.12
\]
3. Raise this result to the power of 1 (which does not change the value):
\[
(1.12)^1 = 1.12
\]
4. Now, multiply by 600:
\[
600 \times 1.12 = 672
\]
5. Finally, multiply by 2:
\[
672 \times 2 = 1344
\]
The final result is \( a = 1344 \).
Since you requested rounding to the nearest cent, we can express this final answer as **$1344.00**.
