17206.07

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 13, 148$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 9$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0075$ , $n t = 36$ , so the growth factor is $1.3086453709$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $13, 148$ × $1.3086453709$ = $17206.07$ .
