18434.85

18434.85

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 17, 719$ , $r = 2 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 2$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.02$ , $n t = 2$ , so the growth factor is $1.0404$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $17, 719$ × $1.0404$ = $18434.85$ .
