43688.63

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 992$ , $r = 6 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 34$ , so the growth factor is $2.7319052955$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 992$ × $2.7319052955$ = $43688.63$ .
