103708.74

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 16, 797$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.055$ , $n t = 34$ , so the growth factor is $6.1742417136$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $16, 797$ × $6.1742417136$ = $103708.74$ .
