77795.58

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 055$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.06$ , $n t = 32$ , so the growth factor is $6.4533866819$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 055$ × $6.4533866819$ = $77795.58$ .
