59461.58

59461.58

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 785$ , $r = 6 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 26$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 52$ , so the growth factor is $4.6508858952$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 785$ × $4.6508858952$ = $59461.58$ .
