18118.36

18118.36

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 612$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 5$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.015$ , $n t = 10$ , so the growth factor is $1.160540825$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 612$ × $1.160540825$ = $18118.36$ .
