15938.03

15938.03

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 14, 576$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 3$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.015$ , $n t = 6$ , so the growth factor is $1.0934432639$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $14, 576$ × $1.0934432639$ = $15938.03$ .
