41080.03

41080.03

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 16, 171$ , $r = 6 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.06$ , $n t = 16$ , so the growth factor is $2.5403516847$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $16, 171$ × $2.5403516847$ = $41080.03$ .
