41163.86

41163.86

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 16, 204$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 8$ .

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: $16, 204$ × $2.5403516847$ = $41163.86$ .
