12042.67

12042.67

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 11, 119$ , $r = 2 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 4$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.005$ , $n t = 16$ , so the growth factor is $1.0830711513$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $11, 119$ × $1.0830711513$ = $12042.67$ .
