18857.06

18857.06

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 16, 070$ , $r = 1 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0008333333$ , $n t = 192$ , so the growth factor is $1.173432683$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $16, 070$ × $1.173432683$ = $18857.06$ .
