44353.97

44353.97

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 15, 998$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 26$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.04$ , $n t = 26$ , so the growth factor is $2.7724697847$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $15, 998$ × $2.7724697847$ = $44353.97$ .
