18980.84

18980.84

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 18, 428$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 1$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 1$ , so the growth factor is $1.03$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $18, 428$ × $1.03$ = $18980.84$ .
