20604.74

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 439$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 6$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.12$ , $n t = 6$ , so the growth factor is $1.9738226852$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 439$ × $1.9738226852$ = $20604.74$ .
