101614.85

101614.85

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 11, 936$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 20$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.055$ , $n t = 40$ , so the growth factor is $8.513308774$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $11, 936$ × $8.513308774$ = $101614.85$ .
