30535.98

30535.98

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 12, 965$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 8$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.055$ , $n t = 16$ , so the growth factor is $2.3552626993$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $12, 965$ × $2.3552626993$ = $30535.98$ .
