95052.01

95052.01

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 116$ , $r = 6 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 29$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 58$ , so the growth factor is $5.5534009841$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 116$ × $5.5534009841$ = $95052.01$ .
