13475.82

13475.82

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 950$ , $r = 2 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 2$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 4$ , so the growth factor is $1.04060401$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 950$ × $1.04060401$ = $13475.82$ .
