26963.48

26963.48

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 550$ , $r = 14 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 4$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.035$ , $n t = 16$ , so the growth factor is $1.7339860398$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 550$ × $1.7339860398$ = $26963.48$ .
