16361.84

16361.84

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 931$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 3$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.04$ , $n t = 6$ , so the growth factor is $1.2653190185$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 931$ × $1.2653190185$ = $16361.84$ .
