You have to use the formula for compound interest which is: A=P(1+r/n)^nt
The Givens info is:
A=?
P=1000
r= 6% = 0.06 (convert into decimal)
n=12(# of interest periods: since it is monthly n=12)
t=10

Now your formula should look like this:

A= 1000*(1+(0.06/12))^12*10
A=1000*(1.005)^120
A=1000*(1.819396734)
A=$1819.40
