254786.16

254786.16

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 16, 262$ , $r = 14 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 21$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.14$ , $n t = 21$ , so the growth factor is $15.6675784539$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $16, 262$ × $15.6675784539$ = $254786.16$ .
