17389.38

17389.38

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 634$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 8$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0033333333$ , $n t = 96$ , so the growth factor is $1.3763951192$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 634$ × $1.3763951192$ = $17389.38$ .
