32054.59

32054.59

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 858$ , $r = 7 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.07$ , $n t = 16$ , so the growth factor is $2.9521637486$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 858$ × $2.9521637486$ = $32054.59$ .
