201726.37

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 185$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 23$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.055$ , $n t = 46$ , so the growth factor is $11.7385145647$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 185$ × $11.7385145647$ = $201726.37$ .
