16386.11

16386.11

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 1, 790$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 19$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.06$ , $n t = 38$ , so the growth factor is $9.154252347$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $1, 790$ × $9.154252347$ = $16386.11$ .
