17743.47

17743.47

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 122$ , $r = 2 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 8$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0016666667$ , $n t = 96$ , so the growth factor is $1.1733545869$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 122$ × $1.1733545869$ = $17743.47$ .
