165730.82

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 040$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 29$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.04$ , $n t = 58$ , so the growth factor is $9.7259868787$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 040$ × $9.7259868787$ = $165730.82$ .
