16711.05

16711.05

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 055$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 1$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.11$ , $n t = 1$ , so the growth factor is $1.11$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 055$ × $1.11$ = $16711.05$ .
