145238.38

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 523$ , $r = 15 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 15$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0125$ , $n t = 180$ , so the growth factor is $9.3563344925$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 523$ × $9.3563344925$ = $145238.38$ .
