24407.33

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 074$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 12$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.015$ , $n t = 24$ , so the growth factor is $1.4295028119$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 074$ × $1.4295028119$ = $24407.33$ .
