114878.35

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 857$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 25$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.02$ , $n t = 100$ , so the growth factor is $7.2446461183$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 857$ × $7.2446461183$ = $114878.35$ .
