33966.78

33966.78

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 18, 697$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 5$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 60$ , so the growth factor is $1.8166966986$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $18, 697$ × $1.8166966986$ = $33966.78$ .
