Solution - Compound interest (basic)

17316.46

17316.46

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 14, 762$ , $r = 1 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.005$ , $n t = 32$ , so the growth factor is $1.1730431187$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $14, 762$ × $1.1730431187$ = $17316.46$ .
