132301.93

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 995$ , $r = 9 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 24$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.045$ , $n t = 48$ , so the growth factor is $8.2714555734$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 995$ × $8.2714555734$ = $132301.93$ .
