356582.74

356582.74

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 16, 485$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 26$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 104$ , so the growth factor is $21.6307396106$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $16, 485$ × $21.6307396106$ = $356582.74$ .
