41979.74

41979.74

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 18, 149$ , $r = 15 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 6$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.15$ , $n t = 6$ , so the growth factor is $2.3130607656$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $18, 149$ × $2.3130607656$ = $41979.74$ .
