13842.79

13842.79

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 292$ , $r = 2 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 6$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.02$ , $n t = 6$ , so the growth factor is $1.1261624193$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 292$ × $1.1261624193$ = $13842.79$ .
