34073.50

34073.50

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 13, 232$ , $r = 6 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 32$ , so the growth factor is $2.5750827557$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $13, 232$ × $2.5750827557$ = $34073.50$ .
