28356.56

28356.56

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 217$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 10$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0041666667$ , $n t = 120$ , so the growth factor is $1.6470094977$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 217$ × $1.6470094977$ = $28356.56$ .
