27733.42

27733.42

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 100$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.05$ , $n t = 17$ , so the growth factor is $2.2920183178$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 100$ × $2.2920183178$ = $27733.42$ .
